Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Maryland

Would like to ask a question and get a FREE answer. I'm not sure of the appropriate law category regarding INCOMPETENCY.

If a person has been deemed incompetent in Maryland, is it a requirement for that person's family to be notified of such a legal action?

I live in NC, but my question applies to a Maryland relative.
