1.  IF there are no legal heirs left alive,  THEN the  Property / Assets of the mentally deranged person,  would automatically be devolved to the State Govt.  There is no other way.

 

2.  A mentally deranged person, is legally NOT competent to make any Will, POA, Trust, Agreement or any Contract   AND  THUS  cannot appoint ANYBODY whosoever to manage his property / assets, when alive or after death.

 

3.  Parents or relatives or other legal heir (under the HSAct) may stake their claim / role in succeding / managing the property of the mentally deranged person,  BUT  ONLY after getting a court decree to that affect.
