If an owner of eligible land, must have owned such land for at least 12 months prior to the close of the applicable signup period, unless:
The new owner acquired such land by will or succession as a result of the death of the previous owner;
The only ownership change in the 12-month period occurred due to foreclosure on the land and the owner of the land, immediately before the foreclosure, exercises a timely right of redemption from the mortgage holder in accordance with State law; or
