What can I do if a family member has died intestate without a Will?
It will surprise many people that if a person dies intestate without a valid will that the terms of intestacy can be varied using a Deed of Variation. This video explains how this works in practice.
We have been providing specialist Estate planning and Inheritance tax (IHT) advice for more than 18 years. The aim of this channel is to help you to understand how Inheritance tax works and what you can do to resolve your inheritance tax problems.
The videos are only aimed at people who are domiciled in the UK or foreign nationals who have lived in the UK for 15 years.
I hope you find the content useful.
