2010 Pennsylvania Code
Title 20 - DECEDENTS, ESTATES AND FIDUCIARIES
Chapter 9 - Register of Wills
906 - Caveat.

     § 906.  Caveat.
        (a)  Bond.--When a caveat has been filed, the register shall
     not delay the probate of a will or the grant of letters for more
     than ten days after the filing of the petition for probate or
     for the grant of letters, or after the filing of the caveat,
     whichever shall be later, unless within such ten-day period a
     party in interest shall file with the register his bond in the
     name of the Commonwealth with sufficient surety in such amount,
     not less than $500 or more than $5,000, as the register
     considers necessary, conditioned for the payment of any costs
     which may be decreed against the caveator.
        (b)  Failure to give bond.--If no bond is filed within the
     ten-day period, the caveat shall be considered abandoned, except
     as the register, for cause shown, shall extend the time.
        (c)  Costs.--The register, or the court upon appeal, shall
     determine the amount of costs occasioned by a caveat and direct
     by whom they shall be paid. If all or part of the costs shall be
     finally decreed to be paid by the caveator, any party interested
     in the costs may bring suit on the caveator's bond as provided
     by law.
