"Power" is a term of art, denoting an authority vested in a person (called "the donee") to deal with or dispose of property not his own. A power may be created by reservation or limitation; the dealing or disposition may be total or partial, and for the benefit either of the donee or of others; and the property may be real or personal. A power is distinct from the dominion that a man has over his own property. ("Halsbury's Law of England", 4th, p. 531)
