Inheritance tax (IHT) is levied on the estate of a person who has passed away, and is taxable at 40 percent above a particular threshold. With people looking to reduce these costs for loved ones, many have chosen to draw up a will - which has particularly been the case throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the number of people choosing to do this arrangement themselves, rather than consulting a solicitor has drastically increased, leaving some concerned about the consequences for Britons.

Inheritance tax otherwise known as IHT, is payable on the estate of someone who has passed away, and is charged at 40 percent on estates above a particular value. However, the tax is just one element of managing the estate of a person who has passed away. While many people will be trying to reduce their tax bill for the loved ones they leave behind, it is of equal importance to lay out one’s final wishes in a formal and binding document.
