Probate Valuation Of Chattels: Wills and Inheritance Tax
In simple terms, Inheritance Tax or IHT is a tax that applies to transfers of value. This means that technically, IHT applies to everybody and all gifts or transfers of assets that are carried out. Upon death, your estate is gauged for Inheritance Tax. IHT has to be paid off before the estate is distributed to the beneficiaries. If the tax is not settled, then the entire estate is frozen until the money is raised to pay off the tax bill.
