Payment of IHT on IRAs

I am an executor of an estate where the deceased was an American citizen who moved to the UK on retirement. On her death there was an IRA account that had built up in the US which was distributed without the need for a grant of Probate by the fundholder to her named beneficiaries. Does it need to be declared for IHT purposes? If so, do I list it on an IHT 409 for Pensions, or IHT417 for foreign assets?

Hi,
 

You will need to contact the IHT department on 0300 123 1072  . Thank you.

Thanks. I have done this. One problem that I will have in completing IHT forms is that my client moved to the UK on retirement so did not acquire a National Insurance number. How do I apply for an IHT reference without a NI number?

Hi Jeremy Brooks,
Please refer to guidance here:

Or telephone 0300 123 1072.
Thank you.
