My old mum died a few weeks ago. I am an executor.
I don't believe we have IHT to pay, and nor do the accountants we asked for advice a few months ago.
She just had cash in the bank, no property to sell, and shares in a couple of normal UK companies.
The solicitors want £2500 just to get the grant of probate (more if we want them to actually do anything further).
I'm thinking it's just fill in an HMRC form to state no IHT, along with one for the shares and another for the bank accounts, or is it actually big and scary and we should pay the solicitors?
I've done all the other bits you do of course, so accounts frozen, death certificates in hand etc.
