A person claiming to have an interest in an estate may file in the registry a caveat in the approved form.
The caveat may be—
a caveat against a grant for the estate; or
a caveat requiring any application for a grant to be referred to the court as constituted by a judge; or
a caveat requiring proof in solemn form of any will of the deceased.
The caveat must give an address for service of the caveator as if the caveator were a plaintiff.
The caveat takes effect on the date of filing and remains in force for 6 months, but may be renewed for periods of 6 months by the filing of a new caveat.
