Ah Yes, after further reading..."re-writing" the will would only apply in respect of IHT issues, not of benefits/dep of assets situations .How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)0

Does a deed of variation not effectively "re-write" any will or intestity rules, as if the new beneficiary were the original beneficiary? If so, how can that be deprivation of assets?
DOV do not "re-write" anything, even though that's the way a lot of people describe it, including professionals that should know better.
DOV are tax efficient gifts.0 -
