Caveats
A Caveat can be lodged against a Certificate of Title to protect a person's interest in property.
Instances where a Caveat may be lodged against a property include:
-
Detesting a Will- a Caveat will prevent a property being sold until a Court Order is made regarding whether a person's interests in a Will were sufficient.
-
Personal loans or unregistered mortgages- a Caveat will ensure the Caveator is paid any money owing to them when the property is sold.
