Legal disqualification of secretary in Machu Picchu? (10)

I believe the answer is:

incapacity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'legal disqualification' is the definition.
'incapacity' can be an answer for 'disqualification' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'legal' bit.

'secretary in machu picchu?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'secretary' could be 'pa' (abbreviation for personal assistant) and 'pa' is located in the answer.
'in' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incapacity that I've seen before include "Helplessness" , "Lack of authority" , "Disability" , "Lack of required skills" , "Powerlessness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
