CV 12: Trustees: amounts received after person’s death

You could also call this:

“How trustees handle income received for an estate after someone's death”

When you’re a trustee of someone’s estate after they have died, you might receive money that belongs to the estate. If you get this money in a certain tax year, it counts as income for you as the trustee. This only applies to some of the money you might receive, as explained in section HC 8(2). This section talks about money received after a person has died. Remember, this rule is about the money being your income as the trustee, not your personal income.
