Introduction

Understanding Deeds of Variation is an important concept for those with an interest in inheritance law. A Deed of Variation allows a beneficiary to alter the distribution of an estate, or change the class of beneficiaries, while still honouring the wishes of the deceased. Yet there are potential risks associated with creating a deed that must be taken into account before signing. In this guide, we explain what Deeds of Variation are and look at their potential benefits and risks.

A Deed of Variation is a document which allows beneficiaries to rearrange or vary the terms of a Will or intestacy without requiring court intervention. This could be used to distribute estates more tax efficiently, ensuring that the last wishes of the deceased are respected, as well as providing financial security for beneficiaries by transferring assets to them for their own support.

However, it is essential that legal advice is sought before signing any deed due to potential implications on tax liabilities arising from varying assets within an estate; if a beneficiary is under 18 years old than any variation may not be legally binding; also if they are related then family law issues such as disputes over changing terms will need consideration.

In conclusion, although there can be advantages gained in using Deeds of Variation it’s crucial that all attendant risks and obligations are weighed up against them first - our team can provide access to free templates and step-by-step guidance so you can ensure your decisions around varying estates aligns with legal requirements (without needing Genie AI account).
