Sec. 45a-503. (Formerly Sec. 45-95). Rule against perpetuities. "Second look"
doctrine. In applying the rule against perpetuities to an interest in real or personal
property created before October 1, 1989, limited to take effect at or after the termination
of one or more life estates in, or lives of, persons in being when the period of said rule
commences to run, the validity of the interest shall be determined on the basis of facts
existing at the termination of such one or more life estates or lives. For the purpose of
this section, an interest which must terminate not later than the death of one or more
persons is a life estate although it may terminate at an earlier time.
