3B:31-29 Modification or termination of charitable trust (Cy Pres).
3B:31-29. Modification or Termination of Charitable Trust (Cy Pres).

a.Except as otherwise provided in subsection b. of this section, if a particular charitable purpose becomes unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve, or wasteful:

(1)the trust does not fail, in whole or in part;

(2)the trust property does not revert to the settlor or the settlor's estate; and

(3)the court may modify or terminate the trust by directing that the trust property be applied or distributed, in whole or in part, in a manner consistent with the settlor's charitable purposes.

b.A provision in the terms of a charitable trust that would result in distribution of the trust property to a noncharitable beneficiary prevails over the power of the court under subsection a. of this section.
