Trust received inheritance tax

Hi
I hope someone  can advise me. 

My dad passed away 4 years ago and left his estate to my mum in a will naming her, me and my sister as Trustees of the estate. 
 
Mum continued to live in the family home until she sold it recently and purchased another property where it was picked up by solicitors that the trust stated that a % of the sale of the house  should be distributed equally amongst the Us. 

I have received some money and want to know what to do ( legally) 
The amount is £60,000

? How or who do I pay inheritance tax to on this money or do I even need to pay it now or when my mum passes away
? Is this inheritance  received  backdated to my dads death /will 
thank your any advice you can give me

Any inheritance tax would have been paid by the estate. If the house was your mother's main residence, and she had a life interest in the trust that owned it, there would be no tax on its sale. Ask the solicitors for confirmation.

There is no tax to pay on the £60000 - it is a distribution from an estate via a trust from which inheritance tax has already been paid.
