CONTESTED CAVEATS
If you are unhappy with a will, then it is very important that you immediately seek legal advice as once a grant is issued by the Court, the estate may be distributed.
To prevent the Grant of Probate a Caveat maybe issued. This involves making an application to the probate registry and once issued the Caveat has the effect of preventing a Grant of Probate or a Letters of Administration being issued, and is a very useful in protecting your interests.
All Caveats remain in place for a period of some 6 months after which they can be renewed for a further 6 months by an application to the Probate registry. As Caveats are not always appropriate in every case it is important that you call our legal helpline so that we can advise you further.
