How much can the attorney donate to charities per year from O's income under the POA?

  1. $2,000

  2. $5,000

  3. 20% of O’s annual income

  4. None, donations are not allowed

The correct answer is: 20% of O’s annual income

The attorney is able to donate up to 20% of O's annual income under the POA. While options A and B provide specific amounts, they do not account for the fact that O's income may vary from year to year. Option D states that donations are not allowed, which is incorrect as long as they fall within the 20% limit. Option C is the most accurate choice as it takes into account the varying income of O and allows for a generous donation amount that is still within legal limits.
