403.
This section permits the settlor of a revocable trust to excuse the trustee from registering the trust so long as the power of revocation continues.
“General power,” as used in this section, is intended to refer to the common law concept, rather than to tax or other statutory meanings. A general power, as used herein, is one which enables the power holder to draw absolute ownership to himself.
