I am not in a position to provide legal advice in response to Parliamentary Questions. However, I can say that the Superior Court Rules (Order 79, Rule 41) provide that a person intending to oppose the issuing of a grant of probate or letters of administration may either personally or through a solicitor lodge a caveat in the Probate Office or in a District Registry.
