Duke of Westminster passes away

[four-wheel-drive]

Why should I give a toss because some rich bloke who was borne with as the saying goes with a silver spoon in his mouth dies in fact I could not give a toss.

You could a little bit.

You've posted about it.

the difference in background is blindingly obvious

Isn't it just, not just him either.

At the very least you should show some respect no matter what the background.

If it was one of our Dads everyone would be giving condolences.

 

Just because he has got money and a title doesn't mean his family won't be bereaved and also upset by unthinking comments.

Well said...but I think they will be members on Pheasant Watch.

The guy has lost life so he's lost everything.............why slag him off? respect costs nothing!

[big bad lindz]

I have in the past attended some clay shoots on his land at Achafary up in north west Scotland which was run by some of the estate employees. I also met his wife and some of the family

although I did not know they who they were at the time. He treated his estate workers very fairly and he has recently refurbished a lot of the tied cottages (or the estate has).

Classy response.

 

Keep working o the passive aggressive trait, it's always a winner.

Oh get over yourself. I have nothing against the bloke at all, but I seriously couldn't give two hoots about his death anymore than he would have been concerned about mine.

What do you expect me to do, break down in tears ?

[Gordon R]

I know little or nothing about the man, but can't comprehend why people are bothered. If a friend or relative died, I would feel it, but he was a stranger.

 

If someone with mega bucks, someone who has made the odd film or sold a few songs dies the World goes mad.

No, just don't bother with the trash talk.

I've just read on AAOC that no inheritance tax will be paid because it is claimed he died of "War wounds" from 23 years ago.

£9 billion tax free.

No, just don't bother with the trash talk. I'll try if you do too.

 

Not being a tool isn't It's a bar. I have no idea what this means, but refer you to your own advice above.

Anyone wounded or killed in battle / conflict is exempt

Good thing to

 

He will be a sad loss but the million trees he had planted on his shooting estates will be a legacy

 

Maybe some of the pigeons we shoot nest in them

Yes, actually the Duke inherited the estate from his brother and paid no inheritance tax, it seems that right is passed on. I've posted the info from AAOC.

Is there inheritance tax relief on woodland?

[CharlieT]

The Grosvenor estate is a trust and as the family are not beneficial owners, no IT is due or payable.

My dad had a heart attack whilst serving in the RAF,

 

He subsequently died some 18 months later of another heart attack whilst in civvy street

 

My mother was entitled to a war widows pension as the first attack occurred whilst serving his country,

Is there inheritance tax relief on woodland?

Yes. We have just bought some woodland. There are rules to claim tax relief from inheritance from woodland and tax relief on woodland products too.

I believe quite a few celebrities invested in woodland/forestry many years ago, including Terry Wogan and Steve Davis, for tax relief purposes but I thought the laws had changed in 1988 but still viable until the mid 1990's? Has the scheme started again?

[digger]

A man has died leaving his children without a father which is never good whether I knew him or not. Some people are remarkably far up their own bottoms

does that mean that the family do not collect the rent ?
