General power of appointment - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

A general�power of appointment�gives the holder, also known as the donee, the broad power to give away the�decedent�s property to whoever the holder determines.�For example, if a holder of a power of appointment can give the property to anyone in the world, that is a general power of appointment.

If, however, the power of appointment holder can only choose to distribute the decedent�s property to a list of specified beneficiaries, then that holder instead has a special power of appointment.
