Good morning

I am trying to figure out what iht might be payable if i leave my entire estate to my spouse ,even if its comprised of rental property and property held in a limited company

Me and my spouse live in and own a house (joint tenants) worth about 750k

We now have a rental property (joint tenants) worth about 100k

Joint bank account 120k

In my own name i have
Rental worth 420k
a rental of 100k held in a ltd company


So, if i leave the lot to my spouse, do they pay iht?

Thanks

All legacies to a spouse are exempt from inheritance tax

(there is a slight exception to this for international couples but I'm guessing it is not a factor here).
