Can a beneficiary receive funds from an estate when the testator has been deemed mentally incompetent and their assets are being sold?
Hold on there. You are not a beneficiary until the testator has died. If the person who wrote the Will is alive, mentally incompetent and in need of care, their own assets can be sold in order to provide that care. You have no legal interest in their estate whatsoever as long as they are living.
The only person who would have the authority to sell off the assets of a mentally incapacitated person is an attorney in fact under a durable power of attorney or a court appointed guardian under a license issued by the probate court.
