Warning against allowing probate of a will.

• A. Domiciliary probate
• B. Caveat
• C. Small estate probate
• D. Foreign executor

Answer: (B)

A caveat functions as a formal warning to probate authorities that someone objects to granting probate or wants time to challenge the will. Filing a caveat pauses the probate process and requires notice and possibly a hearing before probate can proceed, giving the interested party a chance to pursue their objections. This protective mechanism is specifically about preventing or delaying probate when there may be questions about validity, rightful beneficiaries, or proper executors.

Domiciliary probate refers to where probate is sought, not to a warning or pause in probate. Small estate probate is a streamlined route used for estates below a value threshold, not a preventive alert. A foreign executor is simply an executor from outside the jurisdiction, which doesn’t by itself warn against probate.
