Our client passed away in 1993. She was of German origin a Holocaust survivor who went to South Africa in 1945 to start a new life became a South African citizen married and brought up a family there.
One of her sons settled in the UK in the late 1970s married and had his own family here. Our client had been widowed in South Africa and became rather elderly and infirm and came to live near (not with) her son and his family.
When she passed away all she had was the modest flat in the UK that she lived in which was well below the inheritance tax threshold. The property was sold and distributed among the beneficiaries of her will.
