Where a residential property occupied as a family home is owned by husband and wife equally as tenants in common, is a discount figure applied to the valuation of the property for inheritance tax purposes on the first death? And if so, my questions are as follows.
First, if a discount is applicable, how much is that likely to be?
Secondly, where such a property is subject to a lifelong mortgage, is the amount that will become payable deducted in full from the estate of the first deceased?
