524.5-422 INTEREST OF PERSON SUBJECT TO CONSERVATORSHIP NONALIENABLE.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (c) and (d), the interest of a person subject to conservatorship in property is not transferable or assignable by the person subject to conservatorship. An attempted transfer or assignment by the person subject to conservatorship, although ineffective to affect property rights, may give rise to a claim against the person subject to conservatorship for restitution or damages which, subject to presentation and allowance, may be satisfied as provided in section 524.5-429.

(b) Upon appointment of a conservator, property vested in a person subject to conservatorship is not subject to levy, garnishment, or similar process for claims against the person subject to conservatorship unless allowed pursuant to section 524.5-429.

(c) A person without knowledge of the conservatorship who in good faith and for security or substantially equivalent value receives delivery from a person subject to conservatorship of tangible personal property of a type normally transferred by delivery of possession is protected as if the person subject to conservatorship or transferee had valid title.

(d) A third party who deals with the person subject to conservatorship with respect to property subject to a conservatorship is entitled to any protection provided in other law.

(e) Nothing in this section or in this article shall prevent the imposition, enforcement, or collection of a lien under sections 514.980 to 514.985.
