    (c) The amendments and additions to article VII enacted by the amendatory act that added this section apply to judicial proceedings concerning trusts commenced before that effective date unless the court finds that application of a particular provision of the amendments and additions would substantially interfere with the effective conduct of the judicial proceedings or prejudice the rights of the parties, in which case the particular provision of the amendments and additions does not apply and the superseded provisions apply.
