§517-2  Construction of wills and trust
instruments.  Whenever any will or trust instrument contains any provision
restraining the free alienation of land or limiting the term of leases to the
duration of the trust or to a term of less than fifty-five years and any such
provision comes before the court for construction, all doubts shall be resolved
against any such restraint or limitation, and doubts as to the existence of a
power of sale or power to lease beyond the term of the trust shall be resolved
in favor of the existence of such power.  In all cases every will or trust
instrument now in existence or hereinafter executed shall be construed in
harmony with the public policy declared by this chapter. [L 1957, c 13, §3;
Supp, §345A-3; HRS §517-2]
