Hi,

I am told I need a Revocation Deed signed by the original Will writers in respect of an estate which is to remove the will writers interest.

Should this be done prior to applying for probate or after, or is it something that runs separately to the probate.?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Rachel, and thanks so much for your query. I wonder if you need a deed of renunciation (which is an executor removing themselves formally)? Revocation of a will is a slightly different thing. I assume someone has died and you are a beneficiary of the will? I further assume that the will writers had appointed themselves as executors which is what is now going to change? This is where you will need a ‘deed of renunciation’. You might find this recent article a help – What if I dont want to be an Executor. If we have got the wrong end of the stick – do come back to us! Meantime, thank you for reaching out to QLAW – the home of all things legal!
