I am a UK resident and the sole beneficiary under my aunts Will. My aunt is resident in France and lives in the house she owns there. Am I right in thinking that as my aunts' nephew, I would be liable for 55% inheritance tax on her estate? Any advice would be most appreciated. Kind regards Stuart

My 72 year old aunt, a widower with no children, who has been living in France since 2005, would like to transfer the title of her house in France to me.    I am the sole beneficiary under her Will and I am resident in the UK.   Does anybody know what taxes would arise from a straight transfer of title transaction?   I would greatly appreciate any advice in this respect.   Kind regards   Stuart
