https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=297166 A caveat in probate proceedings is maintainable only where the caveator shows a real, or at least a real and existing possible, interest in the deceased's estate that may be prejudiced by the grant. Claims based only on intestate succession, co-ownership, co-trusteeship, co-directorship, pre-emption, or an unsustainable executorship do not by themselves create caveatable interest. Alleged mutual wills and an asserted agreement of irrevocability may support separate civil relief, but they do not, without more, entitle a party to resist probate. Only a surviving executor or other person with an existing legal stake affected by the testamentary disposition can properly be heard in the probate court. en-us Fri, 11 Mar 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 21 Aug 2021 11:56:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=297166 A caveat in probate proceedings is maintainable only where the caveator shows a real, or at least a real and existing possible, interest in the deceased's estate that may be prejudiced by the grant.
