§ 60-156. Deeds and conveyances - Works not giving notice of

existence of trust - Recorded written evidence.

A. The appearance of the words "trustee" or "as trustee" or

"agent" following the names of the grantee in any deed of conveyance

of land or other property, or an interest therein, heretofore or

hereafter executed, without other language showing a trust, shall

not be deemed to give notice to or put on inquiry any person dealing

with said property that a trust exists, or that there are other

beneficiaries of said conveyance except the grantee named therein,

and such conveyance shall vest the title to such property in such

grantee and a conveyance by such grantee, whether followed by the

words "trustee" or "as trustee" or "agent" or not, shall vest title

in his grantee free from any claims of all persons or corporations.

B. Subsection A of this section shall not apply if other

written evidence is recorded, whether before or after the grantor's

death, which establishes that an express trust does exist with

respect to property which the grantor has conveyed by deed to his

grantee followed by the words "trustee" or "as trustee" provided

such other written evidence is recorded prior to conveyance of such

property by such grantee.
