(b) Without precluding other circumstances under which this state has the most significant relationship to a matter affecting a trust, this state has the most significant relationship to a matter involving a trust's validity, construction, or administration if: (1) under the terms of the trust, this state's laws govern that matter; and (2) the trust has its principal place of administration in this state.
