Probate on mother-in-law's estate granted 12 months ago. Estate includes, but is not limited to, her former home shared as TIC with my wife. Shared ownership set up many years ago. We handled probate ourselves but big-firm solicitor who wrote the will seems to think we should expect/await formal letter from HMRC accepting our valuation of property (over which we took proper diligence), and effectively signing off our homework. Neither here or on other forums can I find any mention of such practice by HMRC. Maybe it's something they only do when solicitors act as executors ? We are reluctant to sell the property and divide the proceeds until we have clarity, not least since in the event of HMRC imposing a revaluation we would not be confident of 'sharing' the cost retrospectively amongst all the beneficiaries. Meanwhile, and not unreasonably, they're getting restless.
All guidance appreciated.
