REMOVE all restrictions from the £100,000 Transferable Main Residence Tax(RNRB)

Petition Details

The RNRB, an addition to the IHT allowance, states this property allowance is only exempt from IHT if the property is bequeathed to a direct descendant of the deceased, or their spouse/civil partner.
For RNRB purposes common law partners or relatives such as nephews,nieces,siblings are exempt.

Additional Information

INSTEAD give the allowance restriction free, to all property owners, enabling them to bequeath as much of their main residence free from IHT as possible.
This would increase the current £325,000 IHT threshold by £100,000. Increasing to £500,000 by 2020.This then can be bequeathed to anybody you choose
See https://www.gov.uk/wills-probate-inheritance/overview. Select IHT go to item 2,
