When is a gift not a gift?

A new twist in the tale - I just found out that the 46k from my neighbours is actually money that was left to them by an elderly friend who they transferred to me via a Deed of Variation. From my reading online, this suggests that the money is therefore not actually deemed as a gift from my neighbours at all, rather a direct inheritance to me from the deceased. I'm assuming I'll have to provide a copy of the Deed to prove all this, but does this mean the whole problem of gifts from a non-relative goes away? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks0
