[blindlaw] question

I doubt that it would hold up in any state. Incompetence refers generally to 
a person who is mentally ill or severely disabled enough where they are not 
comprehending or able to take care of their lives. In many states a person 
would have to be placed on conservatorship and there are specific 
requirements today regarding conservatorships such as the due process that 
is required for a potential conservatee to go through such as the 
appointment of an attornehy and a hearing. At least that is how it is here 
in California and it was pretty much the same when I lived in Michigan.
