If the question is about someone being adjudged legally incompetent, then a conservator or guardian is named by the court to administer the individuals affairs and assets.
If the question is about a plaintiff or a defendant in a civil case being found incompetent, it would mean that they were not legally liable for whatever the action (or lack of action) was that brought the case to court in the first place.
