2. If the father appoints multiple trustees in several undated wills and the last of which is
unknown, they shall all participate in the trusteeship, unless the court decides otherwise
based on the interest of the incompetent person.
3. If a father designates a trustee, then designates another trustee, only the latter shall
assume trusteeship, unless a presumption of joint trusteeship exists.
If the father fails to determine the powers of each trustee, the court may determine such
powers.
