Can a Will be changed after Death?

A valid Will can be changed, although only changes to the share of inheritance given to you. In these circumstances you will need to apply for a Deed of Variation, or a Deed of Family Arrangement in order to be able to do this. Changing a Will can be tough so you may need to seek legal advice or assistance. These types of changes include:

  • – Specific assets given to different people instead
  • – Give up or away your whole entitlement
  • – Reduce inheritance tax
  • – Use your inheritance to set-up a trust for your family
