Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) provide tax-free environments for your savings and investments. But it’s important to get up to speed on what happens to your ISA after death. You need to know who can inherit what, and how your hard-earned savings can pass on to your loved ones. This guide covers ISA inheritance rules, allowances, Inheritance Tax and more.

Who can inherit an ISA? In order to inherit an ISA and receive the full tax advantages of the APS, you must be: Married or in a civil partnership with the deceased, and Living with the deceased at the time of death Provided these two factors apply, you can make a claim for an ISA transfer on death.

In the case of cash ISAs, you have three years to use this allowance, but an additional time period applies if completion of the administration of the estate takes longer. The APS allowance is limited to the value of your spouse or civil partner’s ISA (s) as at their date of death if this is before 6 April 2018.

Here we take a closer look at the rules when it comes to transferring an ISA on death, and also explain if and when you might need to think about inheritance tax (IHT). What happens to your ISA after you die? Upon death, your ISA becomes a ‘continuing account of a deceased investor’ – also known as a ‘continuing ISA’.

The ISA ends when either the executor of the will closes it, the administration of the estate is completed or three years pass. ISA money will then normally form part of the deceased’s estate for Inheritance tax purposes. However, spouses and civil partners can pass unlimited sums to one another on death without IHT applying.

Planning for your financial future can be overwhelming, but setting yourself up for success can help transitions. Find out what happens to your ISA after death.

Under the Isa rules, you can only open and pay into one cash Isa and one stocks and shares Isa per tax year. However, you won't breach these rules if you open up an Isa for the sole purpose of transferring inherited savings.

Each ISA amount is above the banks probate limit ranging from 5 to 50k. I’ve managed to reduce the number of ISAs held to the above numbers by transferring our Stocks and Shares ISAs into cash ISAs and making ISA transfers from some providers into Virgin Money ISA, one is still in process. Our Virgin ISAs will be: self - 180k, wife - 210k.

The effect of the current rules is that when an ISA saver dies, their spouse or civil partner can only invest any inherited savings in their own ISA subject to the normal annual subscription limit. In addition, an individual cannot transfer to their own ISA any non-cash assets (such as stocks and shares) they inherit from a deceased spouse or civil partner.

The time limit also drops to 180 days if you want to make an “in specie” transfer – this is where your investments are moved straight over to the new account, without the need to be sold and converted to cash. Will my ISA be subject to inheritance tax? We often talk about ISAs being tax free.

• If values rise after death, then some of the former ISA holdings effectively become non-transferable (in ISA terms); • If values fall between death and subscription it will be possible for the survivor to make a full in specie transfer and a top-up cash subscription.
