Check whether a deed of variation is available — guidance-only eligibility against the s.142 IHTA 1984 conditions: the hard two-year window from the date of death (HMRC does not extend it), adult beneficiaries with capacity, and the agreement of everyone whose share would reduce. Returns yes / no / depends with blockers, goal-mapped possibilities, and an honest note that ALWAYS accompanies the result. No tax outcome is promised — whether it helps depends on the whole estate.

| allAdults | boolean | yes | Every beneficiary whose share would reduce is an adult (18+) with capacity |
| allAgree | boolean | yes | Those affected beneficiaries all agree to the change |
| goal | string | yes | What the family wants the variation to achieve |
