An order establishing the death of an absentee forever bars the rights of homestead and distributive share of the absentee, and the absentee’s interest inand to any real estate owned or held by the spouse of the absentee, and inwhich the spouse may have a legal or equitable interest. Conveyance of any such real estate by the spouse, after four months from date of publication of second notice of the appointment of apersonal representative, is free and clear of any claim or right of homestead or distributive share on the part of the absentee.
