A warning on a title to a purchaser that there may be some interest or right in the property by a third party.
Latin: let him beware. A formal warning.
To enter a caveat means to give legal warning of an interest in a situation. Caveat Emptor. Under normal buying/selling contractual arrangements, this is taken to mean ‘let the buyer beware', and usually no greater duty of care is due. Because of the greater duty of care required when dealing with investments, however, caveat emptor is not taken as a guiding principle. The onus in financial transactions lies with the adviser, and the ‘best advice' principle. Caveat venditor - let the seller beware, used in the sense that the seller has legal duty to ensure the goods sold are in order.
