In 2013, Glyne Harris was made the Executor of a £1.2 million estate. Harris filed the Inheritance Tax Return and paid the initial Inheritance Tax that was due. As a large part of the estate was property, it was possible to pay the Inheritance Tax on the property in instalments. Harris made the mistake of paying the estate out to a beneficiary on the understanding that the beneficiary would settle the remaining IHT bill. Unfortunately for Harris, the beneficiary swiftly disappeared to Barbados without paying the remaining Inheritance Tax. Harris as the Executor was liable to pay the remainder of the £340,000 tax bill personally. Without the estate funds at his disposal, Harris appealed saying that he should not be liable, however a judge ruled that he is in fact personally liable. HMRC could potentially go after Harris’ own assets including his house. Whilst this is an extreme example of what can go wrong, it shows the responsibilities of being appointed an Executor and the advantage that having a professional can have.
