Dealing with mentally disordered person’s property for certain purposes
The court may, if it appears to be just or for the benefit of the mentally disordered person, order that any property, movable or immovable, and whether in possession, reversion, remainder, contingency or expectancy, be sold, charged by way of mortgage, or otherwise disposed of as may seem most expedient for the purpose of raising money to be applied for any of the following purposes:
the payment of his debts, including any debt incurred for his maintenance or otherwise for his benefit;
the discharge of any incumbrance on his estate;
the payment of or provision for the expenses of his future maintenance and the maintenance of his family, including the expenses of his removal to his country of origin or elsewhere, when he shall be so removed, and all expenses incidental thereto;
the payment of the costs of any proceeding under this Act and of any costs incurred by order or under the authority of the court.
