A trust is a private contract governed by its own choice-of-law clause, not by any state's recording or filing system, so a trust validly executed in another state is recognized in Wyoming for holding personal property. The exception is real estate: Wyoming property must be retitled into the trust through a Wyoming deed, which the foreign trust agreement doesn't accomplish on its own.
