You may find this post useful: Grant de Bonis Non Administratis - #5 by Tiggers . It refers to a request by the probate registry for an IHT205, rather than a Cap A5C when the estate is excepted. I am not aware of any legal authority for the probate registry’s request for a IHT205 rather than a CAP A5C when the estate is excepted. It seems to be a CAP A5C should be sufficient in both cases as the estate has already been reported to HMRC upon the first grant; therefore, one would think the CAP A5C would be sufficient. However, nonetheless, I thought I would draw your attention to the post.
