NORTH CAROLINA COMMENT
This section is broader than prior North Carolina power of attorney law in authorizing an agent to petition the clerk of superior court to make gifts of the principal's property including a "gift that is in addition to, or otherwise differs from, gifts authorized by the power of attorney." Prior law under former Article 2B of Chapter 32A provided for an agent to petition the clerk of superior court but only if the power or attorney did not expressly authorize gifts of the principal's property.
