My husband's mother passed away without making a will. The house was owned by the mother only (although both parents lived there for about 30 years). My husband's father still lives in the house. My husband received a letter to say that he will now own part of the house. Will my husband be liable for inheritance tax on the part of the house he now owns? (obviously he will not go to sell the house while his father still lives in it but he is concerned as to any tax liability he may have as he could be close to the €320,000 threshold in gifts received from these parents). Many thanks.
