Dower shall not attach to any real estate so acquired and conveyed during the time described in this section in favor of such spouse who is a person with a mental illness subject to court order. The indorsement upon the instrument of conveyance, by the superintendent of the hospital to which the spouse was admitted, that the spouse of the person conveying the real estate is a person with a mental illness subject to court order who has been admitted to that hospital, stating when received in that hospital and signed officially by the superintendent, shall be sufficient evidence of the fact that the spouse of the person conveying the real estate is a person with a mental illness subject to court order. This indorsement shall be a part of the instrument of conveyance.
