Incapacity And Trust Management

Summary

In California, letters declaring incapacity must specifically state the inability to manage trust affairs. The trust document should be reviewed for incapacity criteria. If a husband later changes his will, it may question the initial incapacity determination. Differences in medical evaluations and legal standards for managing finances versus daily living activities can impact decisions. New evidence or testimony might also influence outcomes. Consider consulting a local attorney for guidance on California laws regarding incapacity and trust management.
