Deed of Variation
A Deed of Variation is a valuable estate planning tool which allows a variation to be made to the distribution of an estate within two years of the date of a person’s death.
The Deed is a legal document which varies the terms of a Will or the laws of intestacy to include the establishment of a trust, or to arrange a different distribution of estate funds to achieve tax efficiency.
A Deed of Variation can be used in a variety of circumstances, but must be given careful consideration before implementation. Contact us for advice on how a Deed of Variation could be used to achieve your desired estate planning result.
