(3) A statement of authority must set forth all of the following:

(3) (a) The name of the unincorporated nonprofit association.

(3) (b) The address in this state, including the street address, if any, of the association or, if the association does not have an address in this state, its out-of-state address.

(3) (c) That the association is an unincorporated nonprofit association.

(3) (d) The name, title, or position of a person authorized to transfer an estate or interest in real property held in the name of the association.

(6) A document amending, revoking, or canceling a statement of authority or stating that the statement is unauthorized or erroneous must meet the requirements for executing and filing an original statement.

(7) A statement of authority filed in the office of the county recorder as provided in subsection 2 is effective until amended or canceled, unless an earlier cancellation date is specified in the statement.

(8) If the record title to real property is in the name of an unincorporated nonprofit association and the statement of authority is filed in the office of the county recorder in which a transfer of the property would be filed, the authority of the person named in the statement to transfer is conclusive in favor of a person that gives value without notice that the person lacks authority.
