Jersey wills & probate: Varying inheritances in Jersey after death
When someone dies, executors or administrators are tasked with the distribution of the estate in accordance with the deceased’s will or, if the deceased died without leaving a will, following the rules relating to an intestate succession.
It is often overlooked that in Jersey there is an option available to the heirs of an estate to change the distribution of assets provided for by the will or inheritance law, where there is an intestacy, by varying the dispositions of the estate which are causing an issue.
