OPINION
ANDELL, Justice.
This dispute involves the appropriate disposition of funds abandoned in the registry of the court.
Appellant, George Eason d/b/a UCM, contracted with appellee, Joe R. Calvert, to inform him of the location of and to facilitate the recovery of $1000 Calvert posted with the district clerk in a lawsuit closed in 1988. When appellant moved for disbursement of the funds, Calvert complained that the contract fee exceeded the statutory maximum, and the District Clerk intervened. The trial court agreed and awarded the funds 90 percent to Calvert and 10 percent to appellant.
