328. No devise or bequest of real or personal property for any
charitable uses shall be deemed or held to be void by reason of any
uncertainty with respect to the donees thereof, provided the will or codi-
cil making the same shall also contain directions for the formation of
a corporation to take the same, and within the period of twelve calendar
months from the grant of probate of such will or codicil a corporation
shall be formed, in correspondence with such directions, capable and
willing to receive and administer such devise or bequest.
This section does not make valid a devise in trust where the beneficiaries
are uncertain and it is impossible to designate them. This section has no
application where the testator does not provide in his will for the forma-
tion of the corporation, etc., as prescribed. Tingling v. Miller, 77 Md. 107.
Purpose of this section. This section held to have been complied with,
and a devise upheld by virtue thereof. The corporation need not be created
by a special act of the legislature, and the fact that the corporation's exist-
ence is limited to forty years, is Immaterial. Chase v. Stockett, 72 Md. 238.
This section indicates that the legislature recognized that a gift inter
vivos to an unincorporated association, was valid under article 23, section
415, of the code of 1904—see notes to article 23, section 88 (of the Annotated
Code). Snowden v. Crown Cork and Seal Co., 114 Md. 651.

cemetery or graveyard, to any trustee in trust to hold the same in trust

persons named or described, or of any family or descendants, or for the
care and protection thereof against desecration or injury, shall be held
void as a violation of the rule against perpetuities.

sonal property belonging to the testator shall be construed to include
also all property over which he has a general power of appointment.
