How review works
Pre-publication
Every new guide is checked against the relevant statute (most commonly the Wills Act 1837, Administration of Estates Act 1925, Inheritance Tax Act 1984 and Inheritance & Trustees' Powers Act 2014) and the current HMRC / GOV.UK guidance. Every numeric threshold and rate is sourced and cited.
Post-publication maintenance
Pages are reviewed:
- After any change in UK statute affecting Wills, probate or IHT
- After any HMRC threshold or rate change (typically Budget and Autumn Statement)
- After any HMCTS process change affecting probate
- At minimum, once every 12 months even if nothing has changed
The "Last updated" date and reviewer name on each page reflect the most recent review.
