When a will creating a charitable trust has been admitted to probate, or when any instrument establishing a charitable trust has been filed with the clerk, the clerk shall forthwith mail a copy of such will or instrument to the attorney general. At any time, the attorney general may investigate for the purpose of determining and ascertaining whether or not such estate or trust is being administered in accordance with law and within the terms and purposes thereof, and may, at any time, make application to the court for such orders therein as may appear to be reasonable and proper to carry out the purposes of the trust. The words "charitable trust" as used in this section shall mean any fiduciary relationship with respect to property arising as a result of manifestation of an intention to create it and subjecting the person by whom the property is held to equitable duties to deal with the property for charitable, educational or religious purposes.
