What is a
Caveat
A
Caveat is a simple form that can be lodged at any
Probate office which will stop somebody applying for
Probate. This is used when a contentious matter arises.
What is a Contentious
Probate
If somebody has died and you know they either made a Will or did not make a Will and you know who the beneficieries under the
Rules of Intestacy will be and you do not agree with this, it is possible to enter a
caveat with the
Probate registry and this will prevent anybody from applying from
Probate.
If you do wish to enter a caveat it strongly advisable to take legal advice because there are many issues that can arise if you take this upon yourself.
If you are ready to proceed with the
Caveat, please call us on 0845 600 3527
