Hi
My mum passed away recently and she didn’t have a lot. £3,500 in her bank which they have released to me. I am her daughter sole beneficiary and the executor of her will. I have just received £9,500 from her life insurance today. As these funds have been released already I have assumed that I didn’t need probate. Do I need to notify HMRC of these funds for tax purposes. Sorry it seems such a trivial question but just want to make sure that I’m doing everything I should be.
