If an interest in real or personal property created before October 1, 1989, would violate the rule against perpetuities as modified by section 45a-503 because such interest is contingent upon any person attaining or failing to attain an age in excess of twenty-one, the age contingency shall be reduced to twenty-one as to all persons subject to the same age contingency.
