1 action shall be deemed to have accrued at the time of the
2 wrongful ouster or the time a notice of adverse possession is
3 filed with the municipal clerk under Section 3.1-35-92 of the

13 intervening after the death of such ancestor or testator; in
14 which case his or her right shall be deemed to accrue when such
15 intermediate estate expires, or when it would have expired by
16 its own limitations.
17 (c) When there is such an intermediate estate, and in all
18 other cases when the party claims by force of any remainder or
19 reversion, his or her right, so far as it is affected by the
20 limitation herein prescribed, shall be deemed to accrue when
21 the intermediate or precedent estate would have expired by its
22 own limitation, notwithstanding any forfeiture thereof for
23 which he or she might have entered at an earlier time.
24 (d) Paragraph (c) of this Section shall not prevent a
25 person from entering when entitled to do so by reason of any
26 forfeiture or breach of condition; but if he or she claims

1 under such a title, his or her right shall be deemed to have
2 accrued when the forfeiture was incurred or the condition was
3 broken.
4 (e) In all cases not otherwise specially provided for, the
5 right shall be deemed to have accrued when the claimant, or the
6 person under whom he or she claims, first became entitled to

8 entry or the action is founded.
