(1) If the estate is closed under s. 865.16, the personal representative may file with the probate registrar a verified statement describing property in which the decedent had an interest other than an interest specified in s. 865.20 or 865.201, including the recording data, if any, of the document creating the interest, and specifying the persons to whom the property is distributed. Valuations need not be set forth in the statement. (2) Upon being filed with the probate registrar, the statement shall be presumed to be evidence of the facts recited, of the termination of the decedent’s interest in the property listed and of the transfer of the interest in the property to the persons entitled to the interest, as if a final judgment regarding the distribution of the property had been issued by the court under s. 863.27. If the statement describes an interest in real property or a debt that is secured by an interest in real property a certified copy or duplicate original of the statement shall be recorded in the office of the register of deeds in each county in this state in which the real property is located.
