Wyoming law

Real Estate Laws in Wyoming.

Wyoming real-estate law is governed principally by Title 34 of the Wyoming Statutes (Property, Conveyances, and Security Transactions). Wyoming is a title-theory state that uses mortgages as the standard residential security instrument; Wyoming permits both judicial foreclosure and non-judicial foreclosure by advertisement under Wyo. Stat. § 34-4-101 et seq. Wyoming has the highest percentage of federal land ownership of any state other than Nevada and Utah, producing distinctive federal-state-land practice. Wyoming's severed mineral estate is pervasive — surface, minerals, oil-and-gas, and water rights are routinely separately owned.
