record title.
Any person having the legal capacity to own land in this state,
who has an unbroken chain of title of record to any interest in
land for forty (40) years or more, shall be deemed to have a
marketable record title to such interest subject only to the
matters stated in W.S. 34-10-104. A person shall be deemed to
have such an unbroken chain of title when the official public
records disclose a conveyance or other title transaction of
record not less than forty (40) years at the time the
marketability is to be determined, which conveyance or other
title transaction purports to create the interest, either in the
person claiming the interest, or some other person from whom, by
one (1) or more conveyances or other title transactions of
record, the purported interest has become vested in the person
claiming the interest, so long as nothing appears of record, in
either case, purporting to divest the claimant of his purported
interest.
