(1) All deeds of trust executed to a public trustee may be foreclosed by such public trustee in the manner provided by section 38-38-101, notwithstanding the fact that the indebtedness secured may constitute a claim against the estate of a deceased person, a mental incompetent, or an incapacitated person and notwithstanding the death, mental incompetency, or incapacity of one or more of the owners of the property covered by the deed of trust.
(2) Any such foreclosure shall be good against a mental incompetent or incapacitated person and against the heirs-at-law, legatees, devisees, creditors, conservators, guardians, personal representatives, executors, and administrators of any decedent or mental incompetent or incapacitated person and all persons claiming by, through, or under such decedent or mental incompetent or incapacitated person. The public trustee shall give notice of such foreclosure proceedings, as provided by law, to the grantor in the deed of trust foreclosed at the address stated therein, as though living and mentally competent, to all persons having interests then of record, and to the lessee or lessees of the premises as provided in section 38-38-305(1.5). The public trustee shall not be required to give notice of such foreclosure proceedings to any heir-at-law, legatee, devisee, creditor, conservator, guardian, personal representative, executor, or administrator of any decedent or mental incompetent or incapacitated person or to any person claiming by, through, or under any decedent or mental incompetent or incapacitated person unless the claim or interest of such person then appears of record.
