  • Which IHT form?

    A married couple make large money gifts to their children from their joint account. Both contribute to this account with their pensions.
    Unfortunately the father dies before 7 years pass after making the gifts.
    He has a will leaving the whole of his estate (under £3m) to his wife
    Am I right in thinking that the executor cannot use IHT 207 and must use IHT 400 only because he has not survived the 7 years and the gifts need to be listed on IHT 403?
    Should the executor only include 50% of the value of the gifts as they were made from a joint account?

    I am wrong IHT 207 isn't used. Figures obtained from the government IHT checker are inserted on PA1P.
    When values for gifts made in the 7 years before the date of death are inserted on the checker, the user is not told that IHt 400 should be used.

      According to the government website full estate details (iht 400) are not required if
      there is no iht to pay
      the deceased gave away less than £250k in the 7 years before they die
      left an estate worth less than £3m

      This would mean that the executor for the first spouse to die would have to leave clear and concise details of the calculations of gifts for the surviving spouse's executor.
