Right to reside an interest in possession? Beware, this decision may change your view

Join us for an interesting presentation by Kate Selway KC, who appeared for the successful appellant in the recent and much-discussed First-tier Tax Tribunal case Hall & another v HMRC[2023] UKFTT32.

The matter concerned the estate of Mrs Raboni and whether Mr Boggia, a beneficiary named in her will, had an interest in possession of the property he resided in after her death when there were insufficient funds in the residuary estate to pay the inheritance tax.
