WHAT HAPPENS IF SOME OF THE HEIRS ARE NOT MENTALLY COMPETENT?
The Probate Court wants to be sure that an heir or beneficiary has a reasonable opportunity to participate in the probate administration process and to use the proceeds he or she receives in his or her best interests.If the heir or beneficiary is not mentally competent, the court will see that a conservator or guardian is appointed for the incapacitated person for the purposes of the probate process and possibly for the safeguarding of the inheritance.
