by the former owner to set aside, declare invalid or redeem from
a tax deed or the sale, forfeiture, foreclosure or other
proceeding upon which it is based or to recover possession,
quiet title or otherwise litigate or contest the title of the

of recording the deed in the office of the county clerk for the
county in which the real estate described in the deed is
situated; and
(ii) The grantee has been in possession of the real
estate continuously for a period of at least six (6) months, at

or death of any person, or by reason of any other fact, or
circumstance.
