Caveat
A notice filed with the Register of Wills that requests a hearing to be held before the Register grants letters testamentary.
A caveat is one of the first steps in a will contest and can only be filed by a party in interest, which is generally any person or entity who stands to gain a larger share of the estate if the will that has been offered for probate is determined invalid.
