A. If a person entitled to commence an action for recovery of real property, or to make any defense founded on the title to real property, is at the time the adverse possession commences or the title first descends under eighteen years of age or of unsound mind, the period of such disability shall not be deemed a portion of the time limited for bringing such action or making such defense.
