AI Summary

This bill removes the requirement for a guardian, who has been granted permission by a court to sell real estate belonging to someone they are responsible for, to notify the Department of Mental Health (DMH) if that person is incapacitated due to mental illness. Specifically, the bill amends Section 12 of Chapter 202 of the General Laws by striking out language that mandates this notification to the DMH in such circumstances, thereby streamlining the process for guardians selling property on behalf of individuals with mental illness.
