For purposes of this chapter, if there is an individual who alone can exercise a power created by a governing instrument to become the unqualified beneficial owner of a nonvested property interest or a property interest subject to a power of appointment described in section 111, subsection 2 or 3, the nonvested property interest or power of appointment is created when the power to become the unqualified beneficial owner terminates.

3. Arising out of transfer of property. For purposes of this chapter, a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment arising out of a transfer of property to a previously funded trust or other existing property arrangement is created when the nonvested property interest or power of appointment in the original contribution was created.
