California Welfare and Institutions Code · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California
The court in which a petition to establish a conservatorship is filed may appoint the county counsel or a private attorney to represent a private conservator in all proceedings connected with the conservatorship, if it appears that the conservator has insufficient funds to obtain the services of a private attorney. Such appointments of the county counsel, however, may be made only if the board of supervisors have, by ordinance or resolution, authorized the county counsel to accept them.
(Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 415, Sec. 1.)
