Re: Incompetency
If the person is unable to appear in court a guardian ad litem would be appointed for the person. Then an attorney would be retained to represent the person through the guardian ad litem. If necessary a family member or close friend should appear in court at the settlement conference to notify the court why the person cannot attend.
