    On IHT400, question 82: Other Liabilities, here I have listed: 

    Halifax House insurance Renewal    £147
    Halifax Emergency cover Renewal    £44
    Window Repair Due to Break in.         £90

    I had to renew the house insurance and the emergency cover since Dad died, which I had to use when the house got broken into while empty. I had to call them to come out to board up the window at 2am.

    My question is, will these be covered under other liabilities?

    No, these are all post death expenses and are owed by the estate not the deceased. The only post death expenses that can be claimed are funeral costs.

    Those all seem like reasonable costs, so yes they can be included in the funeral expenses.
