Legal Terms – Caveat
Caveat is a noun that comes from Latin and means "let him beware". A caveat is a formal notification, typically recorded in a register, stating that a specific activity cannot be conducted without prior notification to the person who issued the caveat (known as the caveator). If there are uncertainties regarding the legitimacy of a will, the rightful administrator of an estate, or concerns about the appointed executors, anyone can lodge a caveat at a Probate Registry. This ensures that a grant of representation will not be issued without notifying the person who lodged the caveat about the application for a grant and giving them an opportunity to raise objections.
