Sorry don't have any specific information but my Mum passed last October and I forgot about the trust.  We have probate and the house is for sale but just received a fine from HMRC as didn't submit a return for the trust.  Apparently I have to contact HMRC and cancel the trust

I think you may not be the poster who started this thread?

I'm wondering if perhaps your situation is that your Dad died more than two years before your Mum and you had failed/forgot to register a life interest trust with HMRC within the two years following your Dad's death?

Here is a link about asking for a review/appealing a penalty for failing to register a trust:
