~ Probate application procedure revised in England and Wales ~

As of 17 January 2024, those applying for probate in England and Wales should no longer complete an IHT421 probate summary form to submit with their IHT400 inheritance tax form.

Instead, applicants must begin the process by submitting the IHT400 to HMRC, then wait for HMRC to send them an acknowledgement letter that will include a unique code and the gross and net estate values. The code and values can then be used to register the probate application on the HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) online portal. The HMRC statement does not say whether this will happen if tax is not payable.

If HMRC cannot issue a unique code for any reason, the letter will advise the applicant what to do next.

Probate applications where an IHT400 has been submitted to HMRC will not be accepted without these codes and values, in order to reduce the recorded number of delays caused by 'premature' probate applications. HMCTS has estimated that 9,000 'stops' in 2022 were due to IHT400 forms being submitted incorrectly.

No notice has been given of the change, but HMCTS guidance now states that applicants who completed an IHT400 form and applied after 17 January 2024 will be asked if they have received the letter from HMRC with the unique probate code.

Artificial Intelligence Act and
EU, US, UK, Asia

European Union (EU) lawmakers have passed the world's first comprehensive regulation for artificial intelligence, called the AI Act. The rules, however, won't take effect until 2025 at the earliest, leaving room for a lot of technological evolution until then.

In the US, the Joe Biden administration recently issued an executive order focused in part on AI’s national security effects.

Britain, Japan and other nations have taken a more hands-off approach, while China has imposed some restrictions on data use and recommendation Algorithms.

Currently, there are no specific laws in India with regard to regulate AI.

British Columbia, Canada

Residents of British Columbia who are older than 18 will be allowed to carry up to 2.5 grams of drugs such as co***ne, he**in, fentanyl, methamphetamine and morphine, as per the report of the BBC.

British Columbia was granted permission by the government to try out the plan for three years, when the drugs will still be illegal but those carrying less than 2.5 grams will not be arrested, charged or have the drugs confiscated.

British Columbia became the first province in the country to decriminalize a certain amount of hard drugs as the country deals with a spike in drug overdoses.
