Recording and trust funding notes

1. Present the signed and acknowledged deed to the county clerk in the county where the land lies (Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-1-113, 34-1-118). Supply the grantee’s address (Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-119(a)).
2. The grantee or agent must submit a completed sworn Statement of Consideration with the deed; the clerk cannot accept a transfer instrument for recording without it (Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-142(a)–(b)). Subsection (c) allows omission of specified price and sale-term fields only if the actual transfer qualifies for a listed category, such as a gift exceeding one-half of actual value or a transfer whose effect is to vest property in the same party. Do not assume that a transfer to a trust qualifies merely because the settlor remains a beneficiary.
3. If there is a loan secured by the property, confirm the lender’s documents and each condition of 12 U.S.C. § 1701j-3(d)(8) before relying on the limited due-on-sale protection: the property must be residential real property with fewer than five dwelling units, the borrower must remain a beneficiary of the inter vivos trust, and the transfer must not transfer occupancy rights. Confirm the borrower’s continuing obligations under the note with the lender.
4. Confirm property insurance, title insurance, and any property-tax relief with the relevant insurer or county office after retitling. A trustee may furnish a certification or affidavit of trust in place of the full instrument to a person other than a beneficiary under Wyo. Stat. § 4-10-1014; ask the recipient what information is needed.
