Who Does What
DIY Plan
You (the caveator) file the petition yourself at the court registry, as a party-in-person. Once filed, you are responsible for obtaining the caveat number from the court and for tracking its status and liveness for the full 90-day validity period. FileCaveat's role is limited to drafting the petition and preparing the supporting document set.
Full Service Plan
Our advocate signs and files the petition on your behalf at the court. Filing is the extent of the advocate's service — you (or the caveator) remain responsible for following up with the court registry regarding the assigned caveat number and for monitoring its liveness. FileCaveat sends automated expiry reminders at 10 and 5 days before the 90-day validity period lapses, but does not proactively track case status with the court.

Common Questions
Which plan should I choose?
If you are comfortable visiting the court yourself to file the petition, the DIY plan gives you everything you need at a lower cost. If you prefer end-to-end handling — especially if you are in a different city or unfamiliar with court procedures — the Full Service plan is the right choice.
Can I change my mind after payment?
Please contact us within 24 hours of payment if you wish to cancel or upgrade. Cancellations after drafting has begun may be subject to a partial charge.
