In the context of death, an "estate" refers to all the assets, liabilities, and property owned by an individual at the time of their passing. This includes real estate, personal belongings, bank accounts, investments, and any debts owed. The estate is typically managed through the probate process, where it is distributed according to the deceased's will or, in the absence of a will, according to state laws.

I am a life tenant of a property valued at £250,000 I use it as an occasional holiday home. Is it correct that this property will form part of my estate on death for death duties? If so how can I get rid of it? Think about what you are asking here. The life estate terminates on your death and as such has no value. On your death, the rights are gone. There is nothing to go into your estate. The law of England no longer recognizes the life estate in land. The holder of legal title to the land is considered to hold that land on trust first for the life tenant and then for the remainderman.
