(b) the disclaimant voluntarily assigns, conveys, encumbers, pledges, or transfers the interest sought to be disclaimed or contracts to do so; or
(c) a judicial sale of the interest sought to be disclaimed occurs.
(3) A disclaimer, in whole or part, of the future exercise of a power held in a fiduciary capacity is not barred by its previous exercise.
(4) A disclaimer, in whole or part, of the future exercise of a power not held in a fiduciary capacity is not barred by its previous exercise unless the power is exercisable in favor of the disclaimant.
(5) A disclaimer is barred or limited if so provided by law other than 72-2-817 through 72-2-833.
(6) A disclaimer of a power over property which is barred by this section is ineffective.
