A Deed of Variation lets you give assets you've inherited to another person, or organisation, often reducing your tax bill.
If you’ve inherited money, property or other assets or belongings under a will or the rules of intestacy, you can use a deed of variation to give some or all of that inheritance to another person or organisation. It's your choice, and it can be someone who wasn't mentioned in the Will.
