married person has been registered under section 7, the spouse of
the married person may execute and register a caveat against the
land at any time before a transfer transferring that land is registered
in the proper land titles office and, on being registered,
(a) the Registrar shall cancel t he release of dower rights, and
(b) the spouse is entitled, excep t as otherwise provided in this
Act, to dower rights in that land to the same extent as if the
release of dower rights had never been registered.
(2) The dower rights to which the spouse becomes entitled under
subsection (1) are subject to any rights that have accrued to or been
acquired by a person in the land in good faith and for valuable
consideration before the filing of the caveat.
