IHT & membership of company limited by guarantee

If a deceased person was a member of a company limited by guarantee, does that have any value for IHT purposes?

It depends entirely on the constitution of the CLG and whether the membership has any value.

If the membership didn't generate any income and wasn't transferable (e.g. a charitable CLG) then no, there wouldn't be any value. If membership could be sold, then possibly yes.

In theory there is nothing to prevent a CLG being used for investment or a trade so you need to check the articles and activities of the company.
