CAVEATS & CITATIONS

We act for bodies who carry out substantial probate work but do not have a contentious probate or litigation department. For a fixed fee we enter caveats, warn caveats, deal with citations, issue summonses for directions, and deal with any other problems which may arise during the course of the administration of an estate. We will also consider the possibility of mediation.
