682
. (a) To the extent that the property owned by the donee is
inadequate to satisfy the claims of the donee's creditors, property
subject to a general power of appointment that is presently
exercisable is subject to the claims to the same extent that it would

estate is inadequate to satisfy the claims of creditors of the estate
and the expenses of administration of the estate, property subject
to a general testamentary power of appointment or to a general power
of appointment that was presently exercisable at the time of the
donee's death is subject to the claims and expenses to the same
extent that it would be subject to the claims and expenses if the
property had been owned by the donee.
(c) This section applies whether or not the power of appointment
has been exercised.
