Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 17-23-105

Liability of beneficial owners and trustees

Known as the Wyoming Statutory Trust Act

The act spans §§ 17-23-101 to 17-23-302 (24 sections).

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the governing instrument, the beneficial owner shall be entitled to any limitations of personal liability extended to shareholders of private corporations for profit organized under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act or extended to members of limited liability companies organized under the Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the governing instrument, a trustee, when acting in that capacity, shall not be personally liable to any persons other than the statutory trust or a beneficial owner for any act, omission or obligation of the statutory trust or any trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of W.S. 17-23-113, trustees of a statutory trust shall not be held to a more rigorous standard of care than that imposed upon directors of a business corporation under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act.
