55-9-3. Action to enforce charitable trust--Liberal construction to carry out intent--Notice of action to attorney general.
Such trust shall be liberally construed by the courts so that the intentions of the donor thereof shall be carried out whenever possible, and no such trust shall fail solely because the donor has imperfectly outlined the purpose and object of such charity or the method of administration.
A grantor may maintain an action to enforce a charitable trust under this section and may designate in writing a person or persons, whether or not born at the time of such designation, to enforce a charitable trust under this section. In any such action, the attorney general shall be provided notice as provided in §21-22-18.
