I have been defending a will for over a year and have provided substantive evidence to the claimants/solicitors to
prove the will is valid beyond any reasonable doubt especially what they contested when they entered an
appearance to my warning which I entered after they ignored my letters for four months
However the claimants/solicitors refuse to remove their caveat and have again not responded to my letters for
over three months
I understand that I may have some options available but do not have sufficient knowledge in how to proceed
1. I understand I can issue a summons for a court order requiring the claimants to either remove their caveat or
they have to issue a probate claim within a certain time period
or
2. Apply to the Principal Registry for a “put up or shut up order” again forcing the claimants to either issue proceedings
or remove their caveat
I would kindly appreciate any information how to proceed with the above options and
what forms are required and fees I may have to pay
Also as I am the sole executor and beneficiary should I apply as the executor only
