Make Sure The Powers Defined Are Properly Executed

The powers of appointment allow the trustee to choose the beneficiaries of properties held in a trust. This office has had cases where people use the power of appointment to disinherit family, as well as cases where a claim of undue influence could be made.

The key is in the drafting - making sure that exactly what the individual wants is memorialized and no opportunity to misinterpret the intent of the donor exists.
