Inheritance tax (IHT) and other costs frequently arise when it comes to bereavement, and for the person who is in charge of an estate, these are vital to understand. In order to deal with someone’s estate, Britons will need to apply for a grant of probate - a legal document confirming the executor of a will has the authority to deal with assets. However, what is worth noting is that there are important costs to consider, particularly as the time to deal with probate can sometimes be lengthy due to COVID-19.
However, Mr Cousins highlighted that all is not lost for tracking down lost arrangements.

In addition, Mr Cousins pointed Britons towards Experian’s Unclaimed Assets Register, which outlines pensions, investments and life assurance policies which have been lost.
