A caveat is a legal document which prevents the Grant of Probate or Grant of Letters of Administration being issued by a Probate Registry, usually where there is a concern as to the validity of a will.
A leading law firm staffed by lawyers devoted to providing a professional and affordable legal service on a comprehensive range of legal services.
In relation to probate, a caveat is a notice that certain actions cannot be taken without the person who has placed the caveat (the caveator) being informed.
The purpose of putting a caveat in place is to prevent any administrative actions being taken until any disputes are resolved.
