§560:2-608  Exercise of power of
appointment.  In the absence of a requirement that a power of appointment
be exercised by a reference, or by an express or specific reference, to the
power, a general residuary clause in a will, or a will making general disposition
of all of the testator's property, expresses an intention to exercise a power
of appointment held by the testator only if:



(1)  The power is a general power and the creating
instrument does not contain a gift if the power is not exercised; or



(2)  The testator's will manifests an intention to
include the property subject to the power. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
