which form IHT205

the probate process requires the executor to fill in a form PA1 and if the value of the estate incurs no inheritance tax then also to fill in form IHT205.
I wondered if anyone knew why the form PA1 http://hmctsformfinder.justice.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/pa01-eng.pdf
in section E appears to refer to the 2006 version of form IHT205 when there seems to be a current 2011 version

many thanks in advance

    I think it's just a case of them not having updated the PA1!

    You should definitely fill in the mosr recent IHT form.

    I understand, thanks getmore4less, but if its a simple estate (no gifts, pensions etc) and is under the IHT limit then I can fill in just IHT205 can't I ? ie I'd answer none of the questions directing me to IHT400.
    the deceased had just a flat and savings and possessions << £325k
    many thanks

    If you get to the end of 205/notes then i think you are ok.
