Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. A devise, the validity of which is determinable
by the law of this state, may be made by a will to a trustee or trustees of a
trust established or created by the testator, or by the testator and some other
person or persons, or by some other person or persons, including a funded or
unfunded life insurance trust, although the settlor has reserved any or all
rights of ownership of the insurance contracts, if the trust is identified in
the testators will and the terms are set forth in a written instrument other
than a will, executed before or concurrently with the execution of the
testators will, or in the valid last will of a person who has predeceased the
testator, regardless of the existence, size or character of the corpus of the
trust.
2. The devise is not invalid because the
trust is amendable or revocable, or both, or because the trust was amended
after the execution of the will or after the death of the testator.
3. Unless the testators will provides
otherwise, the property so devised:
(a) Shall not be deemed to be held under a testamentary
trust of the testator but is a part of the trust to which it is given; and
(b) Must be administered and disposed of in
accordance with the provisions of the instrument or will setting forth the
terms of the trust, including any amendments thereto made before the death of
the testator, regardless of whether made before or after the execution of the
testators will, or any modifications or amendments whenever made, which are
made pursuant to the Charitable Trust Act of 1971, and, if the testators will
so provides, including any amendments to the trust made after the death of the
testator.
4. A revocation or termination of the
trust before the death of the testator causes the devise to lapse.
