Protecting Your Property Interests

A caveat is a powerful legal tool that allows you to protect your interest in a property. By placing a caveat on the property title, you prevent any further dealings—such as sales or transfers—without your consent. Caveats are commonly used to safeguard rights arising from contracts, loans, family arrangements, or other legal interests.

However, lodging or removing a caveat can be complex, and mistakes can have serious consequences. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced conveyancing team guiding you through the process.

At Settle Right, we provide professional assistance with both the registration and removal of caveats, ensuring your interests are fully protected while complying with all legal requirements.
