A person wills assets to someone be it a son or nephew or brother etc
When the person dies, whose responsibility is it to verify that a beneficiary is a son or nephew or brother etc?
For the purpose of the correct ABC thresholds, is it up to a beneficiary to prove the relationship by way of birth certs etc or does Revenue seek such information?
This is just something I am curious about, I don't need any family research or have a problem!
The executor will have to fill out a form, I think it's a CA6 (not sure if I've the correct name, check probate office or revenue.ie) on this form you have to put the PRSI no's and names of the beneficiaries (not spouses) and the amount of their share of the estate, and there's a question I think on whether each of them have ever inherited before etc.
