Law/Patents - Law (general)
English term or phrase: qualify
Aus einem Testament:

I appoint my daughter, x, to be executrix without bond of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event my said daughter shall fail to survive me, or for any reason shall fail to *qualify* as the executor of my estate, *of having qualified* shall fail to complete the settlement of my estate, I appoint my daughter y

I assume the "of" should be "or", but how is qualify/having qualified best translated?

neutral  Hans G. Liepert: unfähig ist im Deutschen ambivalent (es kann heissen, sie ist nach Ansicht eines Dritten zu blöd), befähigt ist schon viel besser

neutral  Legalmed: "Unfähig" sollte man wirklich nicht schreiben (s.o.), "aus irgendeinem Grund nicht in der Lage ist" (Krankheit etc.) wäre vielleicht neutraler.
