Caveat:

You may have heard the term caveat. When someone has an objection to the way in which something has been distributed or there’s an irregularity, you as a potential heir or someone named in the will can file a caveat. All that term means is that you are saying I object to what’s going on. Many times you need an attorney to assist you in preparing this type of document and getting yourself into court. Best to talk to an attorney about whether or not it should be a caveat that you file or whether or not you should first contact the executor of the estate and voice your concerns. But one thing is certainly for sure, there are certain time periods that you have to follow in all will matters and the sooner that you’re consulting with a professional on this, the better.
