Deed of variation of share of joint property passing by survivorship

If you owned a share of joint property with another person who has passed away leaving you their share of the property in addition to your own, you can use this deed of variation to give this inherited share to another person. It may be that you have no need for the inheritance, but have some other family member or friend who could benefit from a share of the property. A redirection of the inheritance may also achieve savings in tax. Please note that this document can only be used in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
