Is death gift like, someone left a will of something to be transferred to someone on his/ her death? then what is death estate?
Thanks!The death estate includes all assets held at the date of death.
What you refer to as death gifts are probably legacies left on death (these will be mentioned in a person’s will).
Some are exempt (spouses, charities,political parties).If the legacy is to a chargeable person, the IHT is borne not by the specific legatee who received the asset but by the residuary legatee (i.e. who receives the residue of the estate).
