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

(1)year following the first registration, providing said first registration is not void for any of the reasons set forth in § 29139 of this Law. It shall not 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 friend or guardian or by the administrator or the executor of a 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 not actual notice of the proceedings to register such lands in time to appear and file this objections or assert his 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 thereof, bona fide and without knowledge and for a valuable consideration.
