Deeds of Variation
When someone dies, often they may have left a Will setting out how they wish their estate to be distributed. In the absence of a Will the estate will be distributed according to the Law of Intestacy. Deeds of Variation can be drafted to change the distribution of the estate, but please be aware it usually has to be made within 2 years of the date of death.
