Connecticut General Statutes Title 45A. Probate Courts and Procedure § 45a-516. Gifts to charitable community trust

Any person may incorporate by reference in any will, deed or other instrument, the terms, conditions, trusts, uses or purposes of any existing written or printed resolution, declaration or deed of trust passed by any corporation or executed by any person whereby there is established or is attempted to be established any charitable community trust. Any gift, devise or bequest so given to any person or corporation, in trust for any use or purpose of such charitable community trust, shall be valid and effectual notwithstanding that the terms, conditions, uses and purposes thereof are not otherwise recited in such deed, will or other instrument than by such reference; and the property so given to such person or corporation shall be used for the purposes and upon the terms, conditions and trusts contained in such resolution, declaration or deed of trust establishing such community trust, so far as the same do not conflict with the intent of the donor or testator as expressed in such will, deed or other instrument. Any gift, devise or bequest so made shall not be void for uncertainty or invalid because such resolution, declaration or deed of trust establishing such community trust was not executed by the testator or donor in accordance with statutory provisions, provided such will, deed or other instrument is executed in accordance with such provisions.
