Caveats are one of the most recognizable instruments when it comes to land transactions. They are also one of the most misunderstood. They may be lodged to protect a legal or equitable interest in land and are essentially “warnings” that a party has an unregistered interest in the subject land.
In this course, Greg Stilianou will provide you with a detailed overview of the law of caveats. By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand what is a caveat?
- Receive drafting tips
- Specifying the definition of the land affected by the caveat
- Specifying the estate or interest that the caveator claims to have
- Specifying the address for services of notices
- Service of a caveat
- Consequences of a lapsed caveat
- Difference between a caveat and a priority notice
