Corrections

These are the most welcome messages we get. If you think a figure is out of date, a rule is misapplied, or the calculator produces the wrong answer for a case you know well, please tell us — ideally with the figures you entered and the result you expected.

We'd rather fix something than defend it. Tax rules change and we'd sooner hear it from you than leave it wrong.

What we can't do

We can't give advice on your own situation. We're not solicitors, tax advisers or FCA-authorised advisers, and answering "what should I do about my estate?" would be regulated advice. Please see the disclaimer.

For advice on your own position:

Need Where to go
Wills, probate, estate administration A solicitor — search the Law Society
Inheritance Tax planning A Chartered Tax Adviser — CIOT
Pensions and investments An FCA-authorised adviser — check the FCA register
Free general guidance MoneyHelper
The official rules GOV.UK: Inheritance Tax
Probate applications and queries HMCTS Probate helpline, via GOV.UK
Bereavement support Cruse Bereavement Support

Executr

If you're going through probate now and something about it is driving you mad, we'd like to hear about it — it directly shapes what we build. See Executr.
