www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/RP11-07.pdf

a statutory legacy of the first £250,000 of the estate free of death duties and costs (with interest payable from the time of the death until payment),


http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Geo6and1Eliz2/15-16/64/b...
the surviving husband or wife shall take the personal chattels absolutely and, in addition, the residuary estate of the intestate (other than the personal chattels) shall stand charged with the payment of a net sum of five thousand pounds, free of death duties and costs,




Example sentence(s):
