I know the title sounds like clickbait. But here at the MFF, we're not into clickbait. This is completely true, and actually quite simple, so hear me out, insha'Allah.
One day, I am going to die. When I die, my estate will go to my inheritors. But before it does, if I did not bother making an adequate will, up to 40% of my estate beyond £325,000 could be going to the taxman.
That means if I leave behind half a million, after £325,000, from the remaining £175,000, 40% could go to the taxman. That is £70,000 lost out of the £500,000 — money that could have gone to my family, sadaqah, or something far more meaningful.
And while I gave my own example, it also applies to you and everyone else living in the UK. (Oh, and other countries also have their very own inheritance tax laws too.)

This tool does not calculate Islamic inheritance shares (those depend on your surviving heirs at the time of death).
Save your copy safely, use it wisely, and protect what Allah has entrusted you with.
May Allah give us all tawfiq to prepare properly for the hereafter.
