§ 11204. Limitation of Actions Relating to Registered Land.

No person shall commence any action at law or in equity for the recovery of land, or assert any interest

in or right in or lien or demand upon the same, or make entry thereon adversely to the title of interest

certified in the certificate of title bringing the land under the operation of the Land Title Registration Act

after one (1) year following the first registration, providing said first registration is not void for any of the

reasons set forth in 21 GCA § 29139. It shall be an exception to this rule that the person entitled to bring

the action or make the entry is deceased, an infant, lunatic or is under any disability, but action may be

brought by such person by his next kin or guardian or by the administrator or the executor of the deceased

person. It shall be the duty of the guardian, if there is any, to bring action in the name of his ward whenever

it is necessary to preserve or enforce the ward’s rights in registered land, provided, however, before such

action shall proceed, it must be made to appear to the court that the person bringing such action or those

under whom he claims, had no actual notice of the proceedings to register such lands in time to appear and

file an objection or a service claim. The provisions of this Section shall in no way affect or disturb the rights

of any person in said land acquired subsequent to the registration there-of, modified and without knowledge

and for a valuable consideration.
