Any one or more of the beneficiaries of a trust that is administered outside of this state who are residents of this state may petition the Probate Court specified in section 45a-499p to assume jurisdiction of such trust. In the petition, the beneficiaries shall allege that it would be in the best interest of some or all of the beneficiaries and not adverse to any of the other beneficiaries to be administered in a Probate Court in this state or that all such beneficial owners consent to the administration of the trust or custodianship in a Probate Court in this state. The Probate Court, after hearing with notice as it directs, including notice to any court having jurisdiction over the trust upon written consent of all such beneficiaries or satisfaction that the allegations in the petition are true and upon proof that such transfer is not prohibited by law, may assume jurisdiction. If a probate bond is required under the laws of the state in which the transferring court is located or this state, such bond shall be given to the Probate Court prior to the assumption of jurisdiction by such court. Upon transfer and assumption of jurisdiction and administration of such trust to this state, the record shall be established in the Probate Court as if the trust were being originally established for administration in this state and the provisions of the general statutes shall govern the trust and its administration.
