Effect of section where owner under disability until death. The fact that an owner is under disability until her death does not prevent the running of the statute. This section and § 38-41-101 merely add two years to the period of limitations, it does not suspend the running of the statute. Nesbitt v. Jones, 140 Colo. 412, 344 P.2d 949 (1959).
