Very broadly speaking, there is nil rate band on net value up to £325,000 per person. The rate thereafter is 40%.
A married couple can expect to automatically share twice that limit, with the problems really starting after the second death for joint estates worth more than £650,000.
There is also something called Business Property Relief to exempt 100% of business assets potentially.
Ask us for more details.
