10-3.1 - Powers of appointment and other powers

§ 10-3.1 Powers of appointment and other powers    (a)  This  article  applies  to  powers  of  appointment.  A  power of  appointment, as the term is  used  in  this  article,  is  an  authority  created  or  reserved  by  a  person  having  property  subject  to  his  disposition, enabling the donee to designate, within such limits as  may  be prescribed by the donor, the appointees of the property or the shares  or the manner in which such property shall be received.    (b) This article applies, generally, to powers which are not powers of  appointment,  such as a power to revoke a disposition previously made, a  power during minority to manage property vested in an infant, a power to  disburse the principal of a trust, a power to sell in a mortgage  and  a  power in a life tenant to make leases. This enumeration is not exclusive  but illustrative.
