@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.
