MY father gave myself and my three brothers and sisters £15,000 each two and a half years ago. He passed away two weeks ago and I now have to fill in a probate form for his estate.It asks about gifts inthe last seven years. His total residual estate is only £62,000 . Will the four of us have to pay any tax on our £15,000 each??

If his total estate is below the limit - currently £312,000 -there is no IHT to pay on the residual estate or on the gifts.
