AS 13.60.090. Determination of Incapacity; Effect.

   (a) The custodial trustee shall administer the custodial trust as for an incapacitated beneficiary if

        (2) the certificate of the beneficiary's physician; or
        (3) other persuasive evidence.
   (c) If a custodial trustee for an incapacitated beneficiary reasonably concludes that the beneficiary's incapacity has ceased, or that circumstances concerning the beneficiary's ability to manage property and business affairs have changed since the creation of a custodial trust directing administration as for an incapacitated beneficiary, the custodial trustee may administer the trust as for a beneficiary who is not incapacitated.
