appointment nomination to an interest in property under a deed or will.APPOINTMENT, chancery practice. The act of a person authorized by a will orother instrument to direct how trust property shall be disposed of,directing such disposition agreeably to the general directions of the trust. 2. The appointment must be made in such a manner as to come within thespirit of the power. And although at law the rule only requires that someallotment, however small, shall be given to each person, when the power isto appoint to and among several persons; the rule in equity differs, andrequires a real and substantial portion to each, and a mere nominalallotment to one is deemed illusory and fraudulent. When the distribution isleft to discretion, without any prescribed rule, Is to such of the childrenas the trustee shall think proper, he may appoint to one only; 5 Ves. 857;but if the words be, 'amongst' the children as he should think proper, eachmust have a share, and the doctrine of illusory appointment applies. 4 Ves.771 Prec. Ch. 256; 2 Vern. 513. Vide, generally, 1 Supp. to Ves. Jr. 40, 95,201, 235, 237; 2 Id. 1 27; 1 Vern. 67, n.; 1 Ves. Jr. 31 0, n.; 4 Kent, Com.337; Sugd. on Pow. Index, h.t.; 2 Hill. Ab.

The appointment of an executor, which is done by nominating him as suchin a will or testament. 2. By appointment is also understood a public employment, nearlysynonymous with office. The distinction is this, that the term appointmentis of a more extensive signification than office; for example, the act ofauthorizing a man to print the laws of the United States by authority, andthe right conveyed by such an act, is an appointment, but the right thusconveyed is not an office. 17 S. & R. 219, 233.
