(1) When in any of the statutes of
the state of Colorado a limitation is fixed upon the time within which a right of
action, right of redemption, or any other right may be asserted either affirmatively
or by way of defense or an action, suit, or proceeding based thereon may be
brought, commenced, maintained, or prosecuted and the true owner of said right is
a person under disability at the time such right accrues, then:

(a) If such person under disability is represented by a legal representative at
the time the right accrues, or if a legal representative is appointed for such person
under disability at any time after the right accrues and prior to the termination of
such disability, the applicable statute of limitations shall run against such person
under disability in the same manner, for the same period, and with the same effect
as it runs against persons not under disability. Such legal representative, or his
successor in trust, in any event shall be allowed not less than two years after his
appointment within which to take action on behalf of such person under disability,
even though the two-year period expires after the expiration of the period fixed by
the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) If the person under disability dies before the termination of his disability
and before the expiration of the period of limitation in paragraph (a) of this
subsection (1) and the right is one which survives to the executor or administrator of
a decedent, such executor or administrator shall take action within one year after
the death of such person under disability;

(c) If the disability of any person is terminated before the expiration of the
period of limitation in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) and no legal
representative has been appointed for him, such person shall be allowed to take
action within the period fixed by the applicable statute of limitations or within two
years after the removal of the disability, whichever period expires later.

(2) After the expiration of the period fixed in paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of
subsection (1) of this section, neither the person under disability, nor his legal
representative, nor anyone for him shall be permitted or allowed to take action
based on any such right.
