Section 13-706 - Effect of Adjudication of Disability and Appointment of Guardian

(a) An adjudication of a disability for purposes of appointing a guardian of a person may not be the basis for commitment of the disabled person to a mental institution. (b) Appointment of a guardian of the person: (1) Is not evidence of incompetency of the disabled person; and (2) Does not modify any civil right of the disabled person unless the court orders, including any civil service ranking, appointment, the right to apply for voluntary admission to a facility under § 10–611 of the Health – General Article, and rights relating to licensure, permit, privilege, or benefit under any law.
