However, except as otherwise provided in subdivisions (c) and (d) and Section 9806, the financing statement ceases to be effective under the
following conditions:
(1)If the financing statement is filed in this state, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had the changes to this division made by the act adding this chapter not become operative.

(e)A financing statement that includes a financing
statement filed before July 1, 2014, and a continuation statement filed after that date is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 9501) as amended by the act adding this chapter for an initial financing statement. A financing statement that 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 (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 9503, as amended by the act adding this chapter. A financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with respect to property held in trust indicates that the collateral is held in a trust within the meaning of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 9503 as amended by the act adding this chapter.
