Gift for charitable purposes
30(1)Where a testator leaves property in trust or by outright gift for a charitable purpose that is linked conjunctively or disjunctively in the will with a non-charitable purpose, and the non-charitable purpose is void for uncertainty or for any other cause, the charitable trust or gift is valid and operates solely for the benefit of the charitable purpose.
30(2)Where a testator leaves property in trust or by outright gift for a charitable purpose that is linked conjunctively or disjunctively in the will with a non-charitable purpose, and the non-charitable purpose is not void, the trust or gift is valid for both purposes, and, where the will has not divided the property among the charitable and non-charitable purposes, the trustee or executor shall divide the property among the charitable and non-charitable purposes according to his discretion.
