Thank you for your reply and sorry for not replying sooner. I am trying to understand how the DT is set up and will ask when I have worked it out. Could you tell me whether, as her sons we could add the 175k Resident Nil Rate band to the basic inheritance tax threshold of 325k, even if none of us intend to live in her house? Thank you for your time. Ian
