The administration of an estate is a complex process that requires a lot of attention to detail. One of the most crucial elements is the inheritance tax return (IHT400), which must be completed and submitted to HM Revenue & Customs. Any fee-earners involved in estate administration is likely accustomed to the potential pitfalls when it comes to completing an IHT400 form and the time and resource required to complete it accurately. This is where an effective forms software solution can be of great help.
