  • A large amount of the IHT421 is pre-populated with information you have already entered into your case on the platform, saving you lots of time not having to re-key data 
  • Click into the IHT421 and enter any further information
  • Click Save & close 

💡 White fields on the IHT421 are not editable. This is because they are pre-populated with either information entered into your case on the platform or with values/totals from corresponding schedules and calculations 

❗ To edit information in white fields you must go to where you originally entered the data, update the information and save. When you re-open your IHT421 the information will have automatically updated. For example, if you have misspelt the deceased's name, go back to your Estate overview, click into the deceased's details, update the name with the correct spelling and click Save. Go back and open the IHT421 to see the correct spelling displayed
