Subparagraph (2) of paragraph (b) of subsection 2 applies to a financing statement that, before July 1, 2013, is filed against a transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this article before amendment, only to the extent that this article as amended provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the financing statement.

5. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before July 1, 2013, and a continuation statement filed on or after July 1, 2013, is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of part 5 for an initial financing statement. A financing statement which indicates that the debtor is a decedent’s estate indicates that the collateral is being administered by a personal representative within the meaning of paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 104.9503. A financing statement which indicates that the debtor is a trust or a trustee acting with respect to property held in trust indicates that the collateral is held in a trust within the meaning of paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NRS 104.9503.
