Upon the death, resignation, or removal of an archbishop, bishop, president, trustee in trust, president of stake, president of congregation, overseer, presiding elder, or clergyman who at the time of death, resignation, or removal was holding the title to trust property for the use or benefit of a church or religious society but was not incorporated under this article as a corporation sole, the title to all such property held by such person shall not revert to the grantor nor pass to the heirs of the deceased person but shall be held in abeyance until the person's successor is appointed to fill the vacancy. Upon the appointment of the successor, the title of all the property held by the predecessor immediately vests in the person appointed to fill the vacancy.
