SABERS, Justice
(concurring in part and dissenting in part).
Although these statutes do not violate Art. VI, § 20 of the South Dakota Constitution as to real property, they do not apply in any way as to personal property. The Legislature specifically deleted “or personal [property]” from SDCL 10-27-3, thereby excluding the statutes’ applicability as to personal property. 1992 S.D.Sess.Laws, ch. 80, § 204. Therefore, it was error for the trial court to dismiss with prejudice Heikes’ tort claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress, and for conversion and damages to personal property. Therefore, I would reverse and remand for trial on these matters.
