Inheritance tax.

If he owns his owns property the threshold for his estate increases to £500k. If his kids are unmarried he has another 5k allowance if they are getting married. There is no requirement for them to do so.
 
any tax that would be due is also reduced on a sliding scale over the 7 years .
As for 10k i doubt the taxman would ever find out about it .
 
IHT seems fair to me. As a married couple we can leave our kids £1 million tax free. If we leave £1.1 million their tax bill would be £40k so they still get &1.06 million

As for passing £10k to each child to CYA the giver should have a simple document confirming the value and date of gift. It’s a sliding scale for IHT on gifts so any sum owing, would quickly get to zero
 
Google Tapered Annual Allowance.
Tax free allowance is £10k for me.

I think they audit 1 in 10. But I suspect they will be looking at those declaring assets around the 750k + mark.
