IHTM05115 - Exceptions where no grant is needed: small estates (Scotland)
Certain statutes (principally Administration of Estates (Small
Payments) Act 1965, as amended) and statutory instruments allow
some specified assets to be transferred to the beneficiary without
confirmation (
IHTM05104). They relate chiefly to sums
payable to building societies, banks etc. This usually only applies
where the sum involved does not exceed a specified amount. In the
case of deaths on or after 10 May 1984 the maximum amount
transferable without confirmation should not exceed £5,000.
In case of difficulty, the Team Leader may be asked whether a
particular payment falls within the statutory provisions.
