Change a will after a death

You can change a person바카라 사이트™s will after their death, as long as any beneficiaries left worse off by the changes agree.

If there바카라 사이트™s no will the law decides who inherits. You can make changes to the inheritance in the same way as if there바카라 사이트™s a will.

Any changes to the will must be completed within 2 years of the death.

You can change a will to:

• reduce the amount of Inheritance or Capital Gains Tax payable
• provide for someone who was left out of the will
• move the deceased바카라 사이트™s assets into a trust
• clear up any uncertainty over the will

What you need to do

To change a will you바카라 사이트™ll need to make a 바카라 사이트˜variation바카라 사이트™.

You do not need a formal document or deed - you can write a letter as long as it meets these conditions.

If the variation means there바카라 사이트™s more Inheritance Tax to pay, you must send a copy to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) within 6 months of making it.

You do not need to send a copy to HMRC if the variation does not change the amount of Inheritance Tax due.
