HUNTER, Judge.

Defendant Frances Y. Ingold ("appellant") appeals the judgment of superior court wherein it determined F. Bernard Ingold's ("decedent") last will and testament ("will") had no effect on the administration of a trust agreement ("Ingold Trust") executed by decedent. We reverse, concluding that a general power of appointment was reserved by decedent in the Ingold Trust and it was exercised by the residuary clause in his will.
