House sales and inheritance
A recent customer was concerned about just how much inheritance tax would be due on their property when it was bequeathed to their children.
Mr. & Mrs. "X" who live in Essex had actually worked out what it would cost in dues to the government when left as a legacy to the family. The house itself had just been valued at £375,000. They also had over £145,000 in savings.
If both passed away in a relatively short space of time, there would be a tax bill of £94,000. Currently the first £285,000 of equity is exempt from inheritance tax, however after that amount there is 40% tax due.
