Varying a will

If an individual dies without a will or does not update their will when their circumstances or the law changes, their estate may not be distributed either in accordance with their real wishes or in a non tax efficient way.

Within 2 years of the deceased’s death the will or intestacy may be varied by way of a deed of variation. By entering into a deed of variation, a beneficiary may redirect some or all of their share of the estate in a tax efficient way.
