What are my responsibilities as the executor of a will or the administrator of someone's estate?
Someone close to me has died without leaving a valid will - what happens now?
Not everyone pays inheritance tax on their death. It is payable where the taxable value of the estate is more than £325,000 (in the tax year 2009-10). It may also be payable on gifts the person has made during their lifetime, particularly in the seven years prior to their death.
There are some exemptions to these rules, however. The amount of Inheritance Tax payable on a person's estate varies according to individual circumstances, and it is sometimes possible to alter a person's will after their death in order to make it more tax efficient. Our team can calculate the amount of Inheritance Tax payable (if any) for you. Contact us to find out more.
