If any instrument relating to real or personal property shall be executed by or to any person 
as trustee, guardian, executor, administrator, or in any other representative capacity, and shall 
fail to identify clearly the beneficiary by name and the nature of the trust, the qualifying words in 
such instrument shall be treated as surplusage and as description only of the person by whom 
or to whom the instrument was executed.
