The application for or acceptance of a lease shall not be deemed a recognition of the State's claim of paramount title by the claimant, nor shall the claimant be deemed to have waived his right to apply for an adjudication of title to the Superior Court. An application for any conveyance may also be made after the claimant has failed to establish the primacy of his title before the Superior Court.
