    Having been diagnosed with vascular dementia does she have the capacity to actually do this? If she still does, then does she have powers of attorney in place as it is now urgent or her finances could get messy!
  • You must pay Inheritance Tax by the end of the sixth month after the person died.

    Example
    If the person died in January, you must pay Inheritance Tax by 31 July.

    There are different due dates if you’re making payments on a trust.

    HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will charge you interest if you do not pay by the due date.

    No IHT is payable under the grandmother's will as it is below the threshold.
