Upon the petition of a trustee, trust director, or other person whose interests would be affected, a court shall reform a disposition in the manner that most closely approximates the transferor’s manifested plan of distribution and is within the number of years allowed by paragraph (2) of subsection (a), (b), or (c) of Code Section 44-6-201 if:

(1) A nonvested property interest or a power of appointment becomes invalid under Code Section 44-6-201;

(2) A class gift is not but might still become invalid under Code Section 44-6-201 and the time has arrived when the share of any class member is to take effect in possession or enjoyment; or

(3) A nonvested property interest that is not validated by paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 44-6-201 can vest, but not within 360 years after its creation.
