2010 Pennsylvania Code
Title 20 - DECEDENTS, ESTATES AND FIDUCIARIES
Chapter 25 - Wills
2515 - Devise or bequest to trust.

     § 2515.  Devise or bequest to trust.
        A devise or bequest in a will may be made to the trustee of a
     trust, including any unfunded trust, established in writing by
     the testator or any other person before, concurrently with or
     after the execution of the will. Such devise or bequest shall
     not be invalid because the trust is amendable or revocable, or
     both, or because the trust was amended after execution of the
     will. Unless the will provides otherwise, the property so
     devised or bequeathed shall not be deemed held under a
     testamentary trust of the testator but shall become and be a
     part of the principal of the trust to which it is given to be
     administered and disposed of in accordance with the provisions
     of the instrument establishing that trust and any amendment
     thereof. An entire revocation of the trust prior to the
     testator's death shall invalidate the devise or bequest unless
     the will directs otherwise.
     (Dec. 16, 1992, P.L.1163, No.152, eff. imd.)

        1992 Amendment.  See section 27(b) of Act 152 in the appendix
     to this title for special provisions relating to applicability.
