     70-21-307. Effect of conveyance to grantee as trustee when no trust conditions provided. Any conveyance of real property hereafter placed of record in any office of any county clerk and recorder in which the name of the grantee is followed by the word "trustee", "as trustee", or some similar fiduciary term and in which no terms and conditions of such purported trust or any limitation on the power of the grantee to convey shall be set forth so that any person dealing with such real property could learn therefrom what, if any, limitation exists upon the authority of the grantee with regard to the reconveyance or encumbrance of such property shall be considered as though such property had been conveyed to such grantee without any limitation upon his authority to reconvey or encumber as fully as though the word "trustee", "as trustee", or any equivalent fiduciary expression had not been used in connection with his name, and the use of the word "trustee" or "as trustee" or any equivalent fiduciary expression purporting a trust contained in such conveyance shall have no force or effect in charging any purchaser or encumbrancer thereof with notice of any limitation of power on the part of the person so named as trustee to deal with such lands as his own.
