Legal capacity of retarded person or person with related condition unimpaired unless adjudicated incompetent. Neither voluntary admission nor judicial commitment nor any other procedure provided in this chapter may be construed as depriving a mentally retarded person or person with a related condition of his full civil and legal rights by any method other than a separate judicial proceeding resulting in a determination of incompetency wherein the civil and legal rights forfeited and the legal disabilities imposed are specifically stated.
