  Respondent filed a motion for attorney fees on appeal. Pursuant to our analysis in Point II and the terms of the
Lease, we grant the motion as against the Estate. This Court has the authority to allow and fix the amount of attorney
fees on appeal. Solomon v. St. Louis Circuit Attorney, 640 S.W.3d 462, 480 (Mo. App. E.D. 2022). We exercise this
authority with caution, however, because in most cases the trial court is better equipped to hear evidence and
determine the reasonableness of fees. See id. Considering this case must be remanded anyway, we remand with
instructions to the trial court to calculate reasonable attorney fees on appeal in favor of Respondent and against the
Estate. 16
