Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal by the attorney general and The Bush Foundation from an order of the Honorable Otis H. Godfrey, Jr., Judge of the District Court, Ramsey County, ordering that the First Trust Company of St. Paul and the coexecutors of the Estate of Archibald G. Bush pay out certain sums of money in satisfaction of judgments entered December 27, 1973, together with interest thereon from that date.
Under the statutes in force at the time this estate was probated, representatives and attorneys for the estate were to be allowed "such compensation as the [probate] court shall deem just and reasonable." Minn.St.1971, § 525.49. See, also, Minn.St.1971, § 525.515. The district court had equivalent authority to determine compensation in a de novo trial in exercise of its jurisdiction over appeals from the probate court. See, Minn.St.1971, § 525.-71(15), 525.72, 525.73; In re Estate of Bush, 304 Minn. 105, 230 N.W.2d 33 (1975). The power to determine reasonable and just compensation included authority to award interest on a judgment setting compensation for representatives and attorneys.
