Correct planning is very important for future inhertitatce. Currently, each individual has a lifetime allowance of £325,000. If an individual has assets in excess of £325,000 including cash, savings, investments and property then inheritance tax will be payable on death of 40% of the amount over the £325,000 threshold. If you are married this limit is £650,000 before inheritance tax is payable with the surviving spouse able to transfer any unused allowance from their deceased spouse.
