(1) A legacy that is directed at an act of performance that at the time of devolution is impossible for everyone or infringes a statutory prohibition existing at this time is ineffective.
(2) The validity of the legacy is not precluded by the impossibility of performance, if the impossibility can be rectified and the legacy is to be bequeathed in the event that performance becomes possible.
(3) Where a legacy which is impossible of performance is bequeathed subject to another condition precedent or to commence from a given date, the legacy is valid if the impossibility is rectified before the fulfilment of the condition or the arrival of the date.
