purpose set forth in the instrument, the court may:
(1) Enter a decree modifying, in whole or in part, any direction, limitation, or restriction
established by the grantor of the instrument, so that the real property may be
administered, managed, or pledged in any manner the court determines necessary
to effectively accomplish, as near as possible under existing conditions, the general
benevolent, charitable, educational, religious, or other public purpose set forth in
the instrument; or
(2) Authorize the grantee to sell the lands for the highest price obtainable, and direct
