LabelUnmarried partner exempted from inherit taxQ337
Question text Now thinking of this same couple. They live in a house bought in the man's name and when he dies he leaves the property to his partner in his will. Do you think the surviving partner should or should not be exempt from having to pay inheritance tax on the property in just the same way as a married person would be?
