The estate of the conservatee if he has any. Sometimes and in some counties the attorneys are members of the Probate Volunteer Program.

Although there is no direct authority in the probate code, upon petition to the court, the legal fees of the conservatee may be paid from the conservatorship estate by order of the court.
