What order to send in IHT 400 421 and PA1P
Could someone please explain what should be sent in together, is it 400 and all additional schedules and 421 form? When should I send PA1P? I understand they go to seperate addresses. Who should I send original Death Certificate to? Why don’t they clarify these things clearly and the helpline is often no help! Many thanks.
