Hi,
A relative has been granted probate after the death of her husband and recieved the documentation last week.
There is a paragraph in the documentation to the effect that the Revenue have stated that inheritance tax has been 'deferred'. What does 'deferred' mean in practical terms? She is worried that she may become liable for some tax in the future.
Since the amounts concerned are relatively small (<30k) she did not use a solicitor and instead got advice on probate from the employee relations officer of her husbands employer.
Any help would be appreciated.
