If a general power\nof appointment created on or before October 21, 1942, has been partially\nreleased so that it is no longer a general power of appointment, the\nexercise of such power shall not be deemed to be the exercise of a\ngeneral power of appointment if--\n (i) such partial release occurred before November 1, 1951, or\n (ii) the donee of such power was under a legal disability to release\nsuch power on October 21, 1942, and such partial release occurred not\nlater than 6 months after the termination of such legal disability.\n (2) Powers created after October 21, 1942.--To the extent of any\nproperty with respect to which the decedent has at the time of his death\na general power of appointment created after October 21, 1942, or with\nrespect to which the decedent has at any time exercised or released such\na power of appointment by a disposition which is of such nature that if\nit were a transfer of property owned by the decedent, such property\nwould be includible in the decedent's gross estate under sections 2035\nto 2038, inclusive. For purposes of this paragraph (2), the power of\nappointment shall be considered to exist on the date of the decedent's\ndeath even though the exercise of the power is subject to a precedent\ngiving of notice or even though the exercise of the power takes effect\nonly on the expiration of a stated period after its exercise, whether or\nnot on or before the date of the decedent's death notice has been given\nor the power has been exercised.\n (3) Creation of another power in certain cases.--To the extent of any\nproperty with respect to which the decedent--\n (A) by will, or\n (B) by a disposition which is of such nature that if it were a\ntransfer of property owned by the decedent such property would be\nincludible in the decedent's gross estate under section 2035, 2036, or\n2037,\n exercises a power of appointment created after October 21, 1942, by\ncreating another power of appointment which under the applicable local\nlaw can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vesting of any estate\nor interest in such property, or suspend the absolute ownership or power\nof alienation of such property, for a period ascertainable without\nregard to the date of the creation of the first power.\n (b) Definitions.--For purposes of subsection (a)--\n (1) General power of appointment.--The term "general power of\nappointment" means a power which is exercisable in favor of the\ndecedent, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate;\nexcept that--\n (A) A power to consume, invade, or appropriate property for the\nbenefit of the decedent which is limited by an ascertainable standard\nrelating to the health, education, support, or maintenance of the\ndecedent shall not be deemed a general power of appointment.\n (B) A power of appointment created on or before October 21, 1942,\nwhich is exercisable by the decedent only in conjunction with another\nperson shall not be deemed a general power of appointment.\n (C) In the case of a power of appointment created after October 21,\n1942, which is exercisable by the decedent only in conjunction with\nanother person--\n (i) If the power is not exercisable by the decedent except in\nconjunction with the creator of the power--such power shall not be\ndeemed a general power of appointment.\n (ii) If the power is not exercisable by the decedent except in\nconjunction with a person having a substantial interest in the property,\nsubject to the power, which is adverse to exercise of the power in favor\nof the decedent--such power shall not be deemed a general power of\nappointment. For the purposes of this clause a person who, after the\ndeath of the decedent, may be possessed of a power of appointment (with\nrespect to the property subject to the decedent's power) which he may\nexercise in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest in the\nproperty and such interest shall be deemed adverse to such exercise of\nthe decedent's power.\n (iii) If (after the application of clauses (i) and (ii)) the power is\na general power of appointment and is exercisable in favor of such other\nperson--such power shall be deemed a general power of appointment only\nin respect of a fractional part of the property subject to such power,\nsuch part to be determined by dividing the value of such property by the\nnumber of such persons (including the decedent) in favor of whom such\npower is exercisable.\n For purposes of clauses (ii) and (iii), a power shall be deemed to be\nexercisable in favor of a person if it is exercisable in favor of such\nperson, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate.\n (2) Lapse of power.--The lapse of a power of appointment created after\nOctober 21, 1942, during the life of the individual possessing the power\nshall be considered a release of such power.

As used in this paragraph,\nthe term "reversionary interest" includes a possibility that the policy,\nor the proceeds of the policy, may return to the decedent or his estate,\nor may be subject to a power of disposition by him. The value of a\nreversionary interest at any time shall be determined (without regard to\nthe fact of the decedent's death) by usual methods of valuation,\nincluding the use of tables of mortality and actuarial principles,\npursuant to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. In determining the\nvalue of a possibility that the policy or proceeds thereof may be\nsubject to a power of disposition by the decedent, such possibility\nshall be valued as if it were a possibility that such policy or proceeds\nmay return to the decedent or his estate.\n § 2043.

If a general power of appointment created on or before\nOctober 21, 1942, has been partially released so that it is no longer a\ngeneral power of appointment, the subsequent exercise of such power\nshall not be deemed to be the exercise of a general power of appointment\nif-\n (1) such partial release occurred before November 1, 1951, or\n (2) the donee of such power was under a legal disability to release\nsuch power on October 21, 1942, and such partial release occurred not\nlater than six months after the termination of such legal disability.\n (b) Powers created after October 21, 1942.

For the purposes of this subparagraph a person who, after\nthe death of the possessor, may be possessed of a power of appointment\n(with respect to the property subject to the possessor's power) which he\nmay exercise in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest in\nthe property and such interest shall be deemed adverse to such exercise\nof the possessor's power;\n--(C) if (after the application of subparagraphs (A) and (B)) the power\nis a general power of appointment and is exercisable in favor of such\nother person-such power shall be deemed a general power of appointment\nonly in respect of a fractional part of the property subject to such\npower, such part to be determined by dividing the value of such property\nby the number of such persons (including the possessor) in favor of whom\nsuch power is exercisable.\n--For purposes of subparagraphs (B) and (C), a power shall be deemed to\nbe exercisable in favor of a person if it is exercisable in favor of\nsuch person, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate.\n (d) Creation of another power in certain cases.

The lapse of a power of appointment created after\nOctober 21, 1942, during the life of the individual possessing the power\nshall be considered a release of such power.
