How to exercise a limited power of appointment
I am a trust beneficiary (TN) and I have an option to exercise a limited power of appointment in the event that I perish from this earth. I simply want my trust property to go outright to a beneficiary that I choose. Do I really need to go to an estate attorney to draft a letter for the trustee or can I do it myself? It seems simple, can I write something like this?
“I hereby exercise the limited power of appointment granted to me under Smith GST Exempt trust, dated on April 10th, pursuant to 10.4.(b) , and direct that the property subject to such power to be distributed to Dick Smith outright”
