Incapacity
A status that may trigger decision-making authority to transfer from one person to another. Definitions of “incapacity” and the rules for determining it vary widely across States. Some States use various other terms instead, such as “incompetent” or “incapacitated” or “incapable” of making decisions or managing one’s affairs. Note that some State laws use the term “disability” as interchangeable with “incapacity.”
