The statutory legacy, the amount paid to a spouse or civil partner from the assets of a person who dies without a will, was last changed in 1993. Payments will rise from £125,000 to £250,000 for couples with children and from £200,000 to £450,000 for those without.

Taxed when you earn it, taxed when it goes into an investment of pension fund, taxed when the pension fund pays out and taxed when you die! Thieving barstewards.
