Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 59-1711

  • Fiduciary: A trustee, executor, or administrator.
  • Incapacitated person: means an individual whose ability to receive and evaluate relevant information, or to effectively communicate decisions, or both, even with the use of assistive technologies or other supports, is impaired to the degree that the person lacks the capacity to manage the person's estate, or to meet essential needs for the person's physical health, safety or welfare, as defined in Kan. See Kansas Statutes 77-201

Whenever a fiduciary is or becomes an incapacitated person or otherwise incapable of performing the duties of his or her trust, he or she may be removed. Whenever a fiduciary fails or refuses to perform any of the duties imposed upon him or her by law or by any lawful order of the court, he or she may be removed and his or her compensation may be reduced or forfeited, in the discretion of the court.
