IHT for living tenant, siblings died earlier

4 Posts

Dear All
Property was split between three siblings on death of our grandmother. My aunty, a spinster, was allowed to live in the house until married or she passed away
She died last year but both of her siblings had already passed away previously. The solicitor has put the entire value of the house, not 1/3, into the IHT calculation for my aunty thereby incurring a IHT burden
Is there any way around this as aunty was only entitled to 1/3 of house in original Will?
Thank you

The aunt living in the house got full beneficial interest for life.
IHT is based on beneficial interest.
How long ago did the grandparent die there were rule changes bit that was some time ago.
I did read that there are complications if a remainderman dies but did not understand it properly.
Grandparent wrote the Will in 1983 and died in 1985
In the Will, a trustee was appointed alongside the aunty and the estate was split 3 ways between three daughters, aunty was the eldest daughter. The intention was to protect the house for the aunty to live in. She lived there until last year but her two sisters died before her. If she had died or left the house or married while the sisters were alive then the house would have been split. As it is, the 7 children of both sisters inherit the whole estate. Aunty did not have children or a husband.
So it is a little sad but I suspect she calculated that there would be no IHT due and I obviously have a duty to her, my grandparents and the beneficiaries as I am one of two executors.
If so, it seems the solicitor is doing things correctly as per Benefifical Interest.
I'm not sure why Aunty would think no IHT would be due though. This would (should) have been pointed out when she made the Will.
Setting up a LIT for a non-spouse since the change does not defer the IHT, but the property may be subject to CGT on the death of the life tenant.

Aunty did not go to the best solicitor I think! The Will was very basic. But she had jotted down all of her investments and was aware that the house was owned 3 ways so I presume she was planning off her own bat.

This must be the reasoning of the Solicitor too
Much appreciated
