I am currently dealing with inheritance tax for my grandfather (my grandmother passed away 10 years ago) years ago. I am disgusted that everything my grandfather worked for is pretty much up for grabs iwhen he dies! Basically, we would have to sell his house to pay this ridiculous tax!

Can someone please tell me how this is justified when my grandfather paid about 70% tax during the 70's and then 40% after that, not forgetting council tax, VAT etc, etc.

I am bemused and thoroughly offended.

Any comments from anyone else?
