IIRC, we all speculated that the sale had been in process before SM disappeared, and the buyers/realtors/others in on the transaction really needed the sale to go through on the designated date, or everyone would be in a pickle legally. (Imagine if you were the buyer, and had already sold your house in order to move into the M house? And the banks had already arranged the loans, etc., etc.?) I think the judge agreed to this one-time designation of SM as 'incapacitated' so this one transaction could be completed. The Sept. 1 hearing is to determine whether that designation should continue.
That is correct. The Morphews would've been in breach of their sale contract had the sale not closed.
