Hello - I’m hoping to get some advice please. My sister and I have suffered a bereavement as our mother passed away a few months ago. Her will left her assets to us. My sister is going to start divorce proceedings. She and her husband have no children and have roughly equal assets but once she inherits assets from our mother’s estate she will have more than him. We have been thinking about a deed of variation for our mother’s will as she did not leave anything to my children but she was not able to change her will in the last years of her life due to illness. We are not clear what effect (if any) a deed of variation would have on my sister’s financial position with regard to her divorce. Would it be the case that, as she inherits less, this can have an effect on her divorce settlement? Or would the deed of variation possibly be disregarded with respect to the divorce proceedings since it would benefit my sister financially to the detriment of her husband? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
