Any instrument which complies with this act shall be effective
regardless of when it was executed or recorded. All instruments
of conveyance to, or transfer, encumbrance or release of, lands

a grantee in a representative capacity, or name a trust as

representative capacity of the grantee and shall be considered
and held to be a description of the grantee only, who shall be
held to have individually, the full power to convey, transfer,
encumber or release the affected title and no conveyance,
transfer, encumbrance or release shall thereafter be questioned
by anyone claiming with respect to the affected property, as a
beneficiary or by anyone claiming by, through, or under an
undisclosed beneficiary, provided that this section shall not
apply if the grantee or any beneficiary or beneficiaries or
other properly interested person shall file for record in the
proper office of the county in which the land is situated, a
statement, duly verified, describing the affected lands and
interest therein, setting forth the interest of the person or
entity making the statement, defining the representative
relationship, and setting forth the information required by W.S.

public record in the county in which the matters shall appear.
The identity of any successor trustee may be established by a
recorded statement, duly verified, of the successor trustee
specifying his name and address and the date and circumstances
of his succession, and confirming that he is currently lawfully
