L. 122, a person claiming title under a deed executed by an alleged lunatic within the time during which an inquisition had found the grantor to be a lunatic without lucid intervals, has a standing to traverse the inquisition in respect to the finding that the lunacy antedated the said deed.</p> <p>Lunacy — Inquisition—Traverse—Death of lunatic.</p> <p>The death of an alleged lunatic after traverse taken, will end the traverse proceedings, although the traverse was taken by a person whose title to land was affected by the inquisition. The death of the lunatic, however, will not affect the decree confirming the inquisition.</p>
