Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the
governing instrument, the trustee or trustees of any charitable
remainder trust created after July 31, 1969 with the consent of
each beneficiary named in the governing instrument, without
application to any court, may amend the governing instrument to
conform to the provision of § 664 of the Internal Revenue Code by
executing a written amendment to the trust for the purpose.
Consent is not required as to individual named beneficiaries not
living at the time of amendment. In the case of an individual
beneficiary not competent to give consent, the consent of a
guardian, appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall
be treated as consent of the beneficiary. In the case of any
amendment to a trust created by will, the amendment, if provided
in the [amendment] AMENDMENT, may be considered to apply as of
the date of death of the testator.
