§5-424. Attempted transfer of property by individual subject to conservatorship

1.  Interest not transferable or assignable; not subject to claims.  The interest of an individual subject to conservatorship in property included in the conservatorship estate is not transferable or assignable by the individual and is not subject to levy, garnishment or similar process for claims against the individual unless allowed under section 5-428.  
[PL 2017, c. 402, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 417, Pt. B, §14 (AFF).]
