The official form is published by supremecourt.vic.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it
Use when a caveator withdraws a caveat filed in the Probate Office. It is not the caveator's grounds of objection, and it is not the application for the grant.
Used for these tasks
- Build a will-validity issues list: execution, capacity and suspicious circumstances
- Search the probate notices for competing applications before filing
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may check the draft against the current official form and list what is missing; the lawyer settles every statement that will be filed and signs or lodges the form.
AI may
- Check the draft is the current version of the form and list every blank field or missing attachment
- Index the documents on the file that the form calls for, with date and author
- Turn the court's published filing and service steps into a checklist for this matter
AI must not
- Must not write allegations, grounds, orders or figures in words that will be filed
- Must not decide jurisdiction, standing or whether a time limit has been met
- Must not sign, lodge or serve the form
The lawyer checks
- A caveat is on the Probate Office file, and the step is to withdraw it
- The current withdrawal form is downloaded from the Probate Office forms index
- The parties and the estate match the caveat
- Searching for competing applications remains a separate step
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
