VerifiedHi! My name is***** a solicitor in Australia, and I’m happy to help you.
As your mother left a will the executor named in that document will be responsible to carry out the instructions per that will. If you want to change the distribution under that will, then all beneficiaries would need to agree. That would have to be completed by a deed.
