IHTM05153 | Limited grants: information required

From HM Revenue & Customs · Inheritance Tax Manual

To obtain a limited grant the applicant will need to contact the appropriate court service and persuade them to allow the application.

If they are prepared to allow a limited grant the applicant will need to tell us:

  • the full name and date of death of the deceased.

  • the court service where the application will be made.

  • the type of grant applied for.

  • the reasons why a limited grant is required or a copy of the application you are making to the court service.

  • the names and address of the executors or administrators who will be applying for a full grant in due course

We need the names and addresses of the personal representatives who will be applying for a full grant so we can contact them to check on progress towards delivering a full account and paying the tax due if appropriate.
