      Sec. 45a-504. (Formerly Sec. 45-96). Reduction of age contingency to preserve interest. If an interest in real or personal property created before October 1, 1989, would violate the rule against perpetuities as modified by section 45a-503 because such interest is contingent upon any person attaining or failing to attain an age in excess of twenty-one, the age contingency shall be reduced to twenty-one as to all persons subject to the same age contingency.
