What should you do when you inherit money?

If you inherit a large amount of money then you should;

  • obtain advice from an independent financial advisor for your own financial planning;
  • review your own Will with a specialist Solicitor. This is because a windfall could alter your own inheritance tax position and may affect how you would wish to distribute your estate on death.
