Deed of variation

A beneficiary who wishes to redirect or change their inheritance from the deceased’s estate can do so with a Deed of Variation. This must be done within 2 years of the date of death, and it must be signed by all the Executors, all the current beneficiaries and all the new beneficiaries. You can do a Deed of Variation before or after you obtain a Grant.

What is the difference between a Deed of Variation and a disclaimer?

A disclaimer is when you confirm you do not want to benefit. If you disclaim, you do not get to divert your inheritance to who you choose, whereas with a Deed of Variation you could choose who your inheritance would now go to.

Client feedback

Having used Winston Solicitors twice, once for the sale of a house and also for Probate. Both experiences were very good, and will be using again when the need arises.

We have created our WIlls and Power of Attorney with the assistance of Emily Spencer at Winstons. Great service with everthing clearly and considerately explained and executed with us. Would thoroughly recommend Emily & Winstons to anyone seeking this type of assistance.

We had our Wills updated and redrafted very recently. We received a really good service from Emily. She gave us very good advice, was extremly communicative and responsive and enabled us to get the Wills we wanted.

I used Winston Solicitors and was assigned Emily Spencer as my solicitor for assisting with making a will. I found the process easy and Emily was helpful with advice and guidance. I would definitely recommend using this firm for any legal issues.

Thank you very much to Emily at Winston Solicitors for drawing up my will. Emily went through each section of the will, sent me a list of points to consider and answered all of my questions which I found very helpful for making my will.
