The trust should contain language which describes the succession of trustees, and most trusts allow for the incapacity of the grantor/trustee. That is one of many basic reasons why you have a trust to start with. Review the language of the trust, and follow its terms. If you need to, consult the attorney that drafted the trust - that is what he is there for.
