All instruments of conveyance of real property made by any county prior to January 1, 1992, which real property was acquired by such county through tax deed proceedings, or by any other means or from any other source, are, notwithstanding any omissions, irregularities, or defects in the proceedings had and taken by said county to sell and convey the same, hereby validated, legalized, and cured to the extent that such conveyances shall operate to convey to the person named as grantee in such instrument of conveyance all of the right, title, and interest of said county in and to such real property.
If any person has any vested right in any real property so conveyed, and no action or proceeding to enforce such right was begun prior to July 1, 1993, such right shall be forever barred; and no action or proceeding so brought shall be of any force or effect, or maintainable in any court of this state unless, prior to July 1, 1993, there was recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the county in which the real property affected is situated, a notice of the pendency of such action, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 15-10.
