How can I protect my assets if I become incapacitated and someone tries to have me declared incompetent?

A revocable living trust can help protect your assets during incapacity proceedings. When you create a trust and name a successor trustee, your chosen person can manage trust assets without court involvement if you become unable to do so. This avoids the need for a court-appointed guardian to control your finances. The trust document should include specific language about incapacity determination and trustee succession to provide clear guidance for your family and financial institutions.
