Inheritance and Inequality in the UK

“There is nothing as certain as death and taxes.”  Or to put a modern spin on it, “none of us is getting out of here alive, so make sure to pay the right tax bill, when you leave”.  In the same context, 2017 has prompted a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies on inheritances and inequality across and within generations.  The authors of the report have flagged up a change in society whereby today’s elderly have much more wealth to bequeath than their predecessors, primarily as the result of rising home ownership rates and rising house prices.

What happens to your digital assets on death?

We live in an increasingly technology dependent society as more of our assets are stored, accessed, and managed electronically. It is estimated that 70% of 65-74 year olds are now online. In 2014, as much as 40% of 45-54 year olds regularly used social media, with 22% of those aged 65 or over owning a tablet. This embracement of technology amongst older generations is only likely to increase in future years.
