Trustee capacity issues are becoming increasingly common as life expectancies increase. In New Zealand there is no automatic consequence of a trustee losing capacity - i.e. an incapacitated trustee is not automatically disqualified from holding office. Failure to act promptly to remove a trustee showing early signs of incapacity can have costly consequences.
