You cannot use a Deed of Variation as there is no Will to make a variation too.

You CAN use a Deed of Variation to redirect where assets would go in an intestacy situation. Google provides various reputable links. 

Absolutely correct, and I am now concerned that we now have a poster on this board dishing out misinformation that is highly misleading to anyone looking for advice on this board.

Apologies for not replying to or acknowledging the last few posts. I have been referring to this thread on and off since last year. Unfortunately it took an eternity to sort out my father's income tax liabilities and being reliant on his accountant and HMRC.

It's only now that I have this final part of the jigsaw that I can start to complete the rest of the PA1A to apply for Letters Of Administration. I'm sure that I will have more questions as I do so. Will poss start more threads for some.

In the meantime, many thanks to all who took the time to offer the benefit of their experience in helping me - it is much appreciated.

Hoping that all goes well. Folk here will happily help with basic queries.
