   (b) If specifically devised property is sold or mortgaged by a conservator or by an agent acting within the authority of a durable power of attorney for an incapacitated principal, or if a condemnation award, insurance proceeds, or recovery for injury to the property are paid to a conservator or to an agent acting within the authority of a durable power of attorney for an incapacitated principal, the specific devisee has the right to a general pecuniary devise equal to the net sale price, the amount of the unpaid loan, the condemnation award, the insurance proceeds, or the recovery.

   (d) For the purposes of the references in (b) of this section to a conservator, (b) of this section does not apply if after the sale, mortgage, condemnation, casualty, or recovery, it was adjudicated that the testator's incapacity ceased and the testator survived the adjudication by one year.
   (e) For the purposes of the references in (b) of this section to an agent acting within the authority of a durable power of attorney for an incapacitated principal,
        (1) "incapacitated principal" means a principal who is an incapacitated person;
        (2) adjudication of incapacity before death is not necessary; and
        (3) the acts of an agent within the authority of a durable power of attorney are presumed to be for an incapacitated principal.
