Executor Loan used to meet HMRC deadline

Tower Street Finance paid the IHT bill of £750k in the UK within two days direct to HMRC

Delays in receiving inheritance causing financial issues

I was due to inherit a share of a £1.2m estate and took out a loan for £200k over a six-month term, assuming my inheritance would come through by then but was left panicking about making the repayments.

Lots of shares, but no cash to pay inheritance tax

Mum had a lot of her money in share portfolios so when she died there wasn’t a lot of cash. Because the share portfolio companies won’t release funds to pay IHT, I was stuck with a bill and no means to pay until the inheritance was released.

Funding provided support when placed in a difficult situation

Dad died and there was an awful situation where his second wife refused to move out of the family home. As the executor I was under pressure because until we sorted the house the estate was effectively locked.

I found a lovely little cottage and had my heart set on it but because I’m retired with no income I couldn’t take out a mortgage.

A big inheritance, but no way to pay inheritance tax and access it

When my grandad died I was lucky to be left a share of his £4m estate, but I was also responsible for paying the IHT bill.
