(a) By a clearly expressed intention of the testator or settlor so to do contained in a will or in an instrument in writing whereby a trust estate is created inter vivos, the language contained in the introductory paragraph of 28-69-304 and in any one (1) or more of the subdivisions of that section may be incorporated, with appropriate reference made to 28-69-304, in the will or other written instrument, to be applicable either to the fiduciary authorized to administer the estate of the testator or to the fiduciary authorized to administer a trust estate established or to be established pursuant to the terms of the will or other written instrument, or applicable to both types of fiduciaries, with the same effect and subject to the same judicial interpretation and control in appropriate cases as though the language were set forth verbatim in the instrument.
