anatomical gift under W.S. 35-5-204 may make a gift by a donor
card or other record signed by the donor or other person making
the gift or by authorizing that a statement or symbol indicating
that the donor has made an anatomical gift be included on a
donor registry. If the donor or other person is physically
unable to sign a record, the record may be signed by another

donor's death whether or not the will is probated. Invalidation
of the will after the donor's death does not invalidate the
gift.
