Have been made an executor for a friend who died a year ago. The fact of the US and UK having some difficulties communicating aside the UK tax office makes things harder. Firstly they start charging penalty interest after 6 months and when you\u00a0 are beholden to other institutions (in my case Court of Protection Layers and citibank) if they take months you are paying interest despite your best efforts: and then they demand you pay the inheritance tax BEFORE you are allowed to get the court papers even though you don’t know how much to pay an cannot access the estate because (sic) you have no court papers an finally they send you a delightful letter telling you they want access to look at your personal bank account whether to agree or not.<\/p>\n
I get it, they don’t trust people with money. Neither do I. I also don’t trust the rule-makers to be fair when they are chasing money.<\/p>\n
