Recent analysis has disclosed that one in twenty-five of us will pay Inheritance Tax (IHT) on our estate. In the last year, HM Revenue and Customs has collected nearly £1bn more in IHT receipts than in the previous year. This signifies an increase in the value of estates falling into Inheritance Tax. This is partly driven by recent record increases in residential property values and partly by IHT thresholds that have remained static for several years.

Preparing to be the executor of a loved one’s estate

It is a privilege to be appointed executor of a loved one’s Will. It is an indication of the trust they have in you to deal with their affairs following their death. However, being an executor can be challenging. Sometimes, an executor may not even know they have been appointed and only find out when the deceased’s Will is found. Where there is no Will, a family member is normally appointed by the court to deal with the estate. However, for most people appointed as an executor in a Will, their awareness of the appointment comes many years before their loved one dies.
