Many people might not know that – if they are a beneficiary of a Will – there are potential ways to make changes to their inheritance. There are, however, several factors that could prevent someone from making a ‘Deed of Variation’: For example: - If the original beneficiary is either bankrupt or insolvent. - If the original beneficiary is receiving care or likely to need care in future. This may seem a strange concept, how do you know if you are going to need care? The best example is if the original beneficiary has been diagnosed with dementia. - If the original beneficiary is getting divorced or dissolving their civil partnership, as the court will treat the inheritance as part of the couple’s total assets. - You cannot change the inheritance of other people without their consent. - You cannot give yourself a larger share of the estate unless it is gifted to you. - There are no changes allowed to named executors or guardians. - There is a two-year restriction from the date of death. - If the original beneficiary is not mentally capable, a court application will be needed. Find out more about Deeds of Variation on our website (link in bio). If you require any legal advice from our Private Client team, they’re only a phone call away. #LawFirm #Solicitors #deedofvariation

Have you considered leaving someone out of your Will? Although the contents of your Will are your own personal wishes, if you don’t consider the potential rights at law of an “eligible person” being left out of it, you could leave the estate open to a Family Provision Application. This is commonly referred to as contesting a Will. It not only costs money (out of the estate), it can delay distribution and can cause significant heartache to all interested parties. https://bit.ly/3hjnpKt #contestawill #challengeawill #estateplanning #deceasedestates

PROPERTY MATTERS | A recent judgment of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia has shed light on the treatment of inheritances in property settlement proceedings, particularly where the inheritance was received late in a relationship or post separation. The case is an important reminder that there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with inheritances, writes Rachell Davey.
