The Problem
James had completed wills before his death, which left all his estate to his wife Barbara, apart from the nil rate band (NRB), which was left to a discretionary trust.
The Solution
We advised Barbara on the pros and cons of leaving the trust in place. She decided the trust wasn’t needed and that she’d include it in her will for protection purposes, if necessary.
We advised on the necessary steps to achieve this, and our advice simplified the administration of James’s estate.
Barbara compiled the relevant information, and we completed the IHT400 inheritance tax forms and applied for probate on her behalf.
