Deed of Variation - USA will and UK beneficiary

Posted Mon, 15 May 2023 20:46:42 GMT by
I have elderly childless relatives domiciled in the USA. If I inherit from them, can I use a "Deed of Variation" in the UK, to re-distribute this inheritance amongst my wider family?

Hi,

Please take a look at the guidance at Change a will after a death

Thank you.

I have read elsewhere on the internet, that the "Deed of Variation" does not exist in the USA. It would be appreciated if anyone can confirm the accuracy of this. Thank you.

Hi,

HMRC can only comment on the UK deed of variation and not other countries. See guidance at:

Change a will after a death

Thank you.
