Once Upon a Time: The Basics of Settled Property§
Long ago, in the mystical land of financial ledgers, there was a type of property known as Settled Property. Picture it as the enchanted treasure chest being guarded by the valiant Life Tenant. Who is this life tenant, you ask? Why, the one entitled to benefit from said property under the magical construct known as an Interest-in-Possession Trust! 🏰✨
But Wait, There’s TAX!§
Whenever the Final Countdown begins (aka when the estate of the life tenant is assessed for Inheritance Tax - cue the spooky music 🎃), the value of this settled property must be included. The fiendish tax goblins ensure that the inheritance tax related to the settled property is sufficiently paid by the trusty trustees of the interest-in-possession trust.
For those adventurers who seek deeper knowledge of these taxing tales, journey into the tomes of HM Revenue’s Inheritance Tax Manual. Be sure to bring your golden calculator! 💰🔍
