What Is a Caveat on a Title in Jamaica?
In Jamaica, a caveat is a legal notice noted on the land title under the Registration of Titles Act. It serves as an injunction—a warning to anyone dealing with the land (for example, selling or mortgaging it) that someone claims an interest in the property. Until the caveat is removed, the Registered Proprietor cannot register a transfer, mortgage, or other dealing affecting the land.
