(i). Deed Poll?

Deed Poll refers a deed to which there is only one party. For example, one declares change of name. It is a unilateral deed.

Caveat means let him beware. It is a notice that is filed in the offices of Registry or Court to prevent a certain step being taken without previous notice to the person entering the caveat (who is called the caveator) e.g a person having or claiming an interest in the deceased estate may enter a caveat to object the grant of probate or letters of administration.
