@LL_USS
You are right about the insurance. I've considered this.

But it seems to be not right. IHT (if any) is the liability of the person who has received the cash gift, not the one who gifted, right?

liability for paying IHT on a gift is a set of facts and scenarios you can read up on

@Bookworm225 thank you for the link - I think i get the basic points. Still there are lot of nuances for special cases. Thank you for this link and also the other link for the insurance (https://www.vitality.co.uk/life-insurance/guides/life-insurance-and-inheritance-tax/) - it is really very helpful. I certainly will need to look into this.
