California Probate Code Section 601

CA Prob Code § 601 (2017)  

If the law existing at the time of the creation of a power of appointment and the law existing at the time of the release or exercise of the power of appointment or at the time of the assertion of a right given by this part differ, the law existing at the time of the release, exercise, or assertion of a right controls. Nothing in this section makes invalid a power of appointment created before July 1, 1970, that was valid under the law in existence at the time it was created.

(Added by Stats. 1992, Ch. 30, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1993.)
