Good Afternoon
Can you please be more specific?
Is there an agreement between beneficiaries to divide the estate differently to the Will?
What type of deed are we talking about?
Good Afternoon
They should not really distribute earlier than 6 months as the executors are at risk.
All the best and good luck.
Regards
