Inheritance Tax Payment

[zaxtab]

If any IHT that is due following a death can be paid from the estate,..how can this be achieved if probate can only be obtained after paying IHT to HMRC/

[AGoodman]

Most UK banks will release cash to pay IHT using IHT423
Some assets can be realised without probate
Life insurance
Borrowing from family or institutions
Tax on land and unlisted shares can be paid over ten instalments.
I believe there may now be a route without full payment of IHT if all options have been explored and funding can't be obtained.
