§ 1314 — Permissible appointment

(a) A powerholder of a general power of appointment that permits appointment to the powerholder or the powerholder's estate may make any appointment, including an appointment in trust or creating a new power of appointment, that the powerholder could make in disposing of the powerholder's own property. (b) A powerholder of a general power of appointment that permits appointment only to the creditors of the powerholder or of the powerholder's estate is restricted to appointing to those creditors. (c) Unless the terms of the instrument creating a power of appointment manifest a contrary intent, the powerholder of a nongeneral power may: (1) make an appointment in any form, with any conditions and limitations, including an appointment in trust to any trustee, in favor of a permissible appointee; (2) create a general or nongeneral power in a permissible appointee that may be exercisable in favor of persons other than permissible appointees of the original nongeneral power; or (3) create a nongeneral power in any person to appoint to one or more of the permissible appointees of the original nongeneral power.
