475.078. 1. An adjudication of partial incapacity or partial disability does not operate to impose upon the ward or protectee any legal disability provided by law except to the extent specified in the order of adjudication, provided that the court shall not impose upon the ward or protectee any legal disability other than those which are consistent with the condition of the ward or protectee.

2. An adjudication of incapacity or disability does operate to impose upon the ward or protectee all legal disabilities provided by law, except to the extent specified in the order of adjudication, and provided further that the court is without jurisdiction to impose any legal disability upon a disabled person for whom a conservator has been appointed by reason of his disappearance, detention, or confinement.

3. A person who has been adjudicated incapacitated or disabled or both shall be presumed to be incompetent.
