Inheritance Tax

Oscar Archie · 2023-03-29 19:06:59

I was orphaned at 12 years of age and my aunt became my legal guardian. She has now passed away and has left a share of her estate to me. Can I come under the Group A Threshold with regards to CAT? I know there is rules with revenue regarding this but it covers stepchild/foster child only. Surely this has happened before…

Did you receive any inheritance from your parents when they passed (possibly left in trust to you)? This may have utilised all of the Group A threshold and render this moot.
If not, contact Revenue and ask them if your scenario applies the same rules as stepchild/Foster child. It makes sense that it would, but they should confirm it.
