14A Certain appointments and trusts not void
If a testator, by his or her will—
(a) gives a person a power to appoint property; or
(b) appoints a person to be trustee of any property with power to
distribute the property as the trustee thinks fit;
the giving of that power, or the creation of that trust, by the will shall
not be void if the same power could have been given, or the same
trust created, by an instrument inter vivos.
