Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Power of attorney and gifts from principal to attorney-in-fact

What are the California state laws regarding the attorney-in-fact receiving gifts from the principal when a Durable Power of Attorney is in effect? On the Power of Attorney forms I've seen, the attorney-in-fact can receive gifts if the principal authorizes the agent to receive or accept gifts. What is involved in this ''authorization''? Is there a special form required?
