Valuations need not be set forth in the statement.

(2)  Upon being filed with the probate registrar, the statement shall be presumed to be evidence of the facts recited, of the termination of the decedent's interest in the property listed and of the transfer of the interest in the property to the persons entitled to the interest, as if a final judgment regarding the distribution of the property had been issued by the court under s. 863.27 .
