§ 501. Reformation of interests violating rule against perpetuities
Any interest in real or personal property which would violate the rule against perpetuities
shall be reformed, within the limits of that rule, to approximate most closely the
intention of the creator of the interest. In determining whether an interest would
violate said rule and in reforming an interest the period of perpetuities shall be
measured by actual rather than possible events.
