OPINION
HAROLD W. SCHULTZ, Judge.
Kenneth Carlson appeals an order rescinding his trusteeship and appointing his sister, respondent Jody Carlson, trustee for the heirs of their father, Harold Carlson, in a wrongful death action. Appellant claims the trial court abused its discretion by substituting respondent as trustee because the court (1) failed to make adequate findings regarding the suitability or competency of either party and (2) relied on insufficient grounds to support his removal. We affirm.
FACTS
On January 21,1985, Harold Carlson was killed in a Galaxy Airlines crash in Reno, Nevada.…
