## 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](https://ailawframework.com/practice/wills-estates-probate-and-succession/build-a-will-validity-issues-list-execution-capacity-and-suspicious-circ.md)
- [Search the probate notices for competing applications before filing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/wills-estates-probate-and-succession.md#A17-M20261018-1)

## 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
