A power of appointment is a legal authority granted to someone, often a beneficiary, to determine the ultimate recipients of certain assets within an estate. This nuanced instrument provides flexibility and control, allowing for adaptation to changing family dynamics, tax laws, and unforeseen circumstances. Whether choosing a general, limited, or special power of appointment, individuals can tailor their estate plans to align with their unique priorities and values.
