If the deceased had a pension and a life assurance policy both with named beneficiaries which were paid out to those beneficiaries directly and without having to be added into their estate does that mean the value of those policies is not included in the calculation for IHT?

Yes, but any premiums paid on the life policy within the last 7 years will impact upon the annual exemption.0
