Syllabus

The plaintiff, Elaine Jaffe, and the defendant, William Pournaras, are the two surviving children of Constantine W. Pournaras. The defendant appealed from a Superior Court judgment granting the plaintiff's request for declaratory relief and prohibiting the defendant from transferring assets of the decedent's irrevocable living trust into the decedent's estate. After considering the parties' written and oral submissions and reviewing the record, the Supreme Court determined that the Superior Court did not err in holding that the defendant's intended exercise of the limited power of appointment contained in the trust was invalid. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court.
