disposition by will

The title of a purchaser of real property, in good faith and for

such property shall not be affected by a testamentary disposition of

such property by the decedent, unless within two years after the

testator's death the will disposing of the property is admitted to

is either an infant, incompetent, imprisoned for a term less than life,

without the state or if the will was concealed by one or more of the

removal of such disability or the delivery of the will to the devisee or

to the surrogate having jurisdiction to admit the will to probate.
