Mother dies and gifts half of residuary estate to non-dom son. IHT is charged on mother’s estate.
Son dies 3 years later. He owns a property and holds cash in UK and there appears to be an IHT liability on UK-sited assets.
Would Quick Succession Relief be available on the IHT on son’s UK estate? Would we have to demonstrate that distributions from mother’s estate have increased his UK estate?
