Inheritance Tax

Cluffbert · 2025-02-14 10:00:36

Hello, Just seeking clarification Please. I am an only child. My Mum sadly passed 2 weeks ago.She made a will leaving her house and the rest of her estate soley to My Wife and myself. Her entire estate would be under 500k including her home when sold. I have seen the 2 figures £325k and £500k quoted. What liability if any…

You and your wife will have no IHT liability, if there is IHT due it will be paid from the estate.

True, but sometimes it's difficult to be sanguine about when the outcome is a smaller inheritance where ever the tax comes from.

And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
