The acceptance of a caveat for registration by the district registrar does not mean that the interest claimed is a valid interest in land. Further, the acceptance for registration of a caveat does not convert an invalid interest into an interest in land, capable of binding subsequent owners. Finally, the acceptance of a caveat by the district registrar is not an indication that the caveator is legally entitled to the interest in land claimed therein.
