| Annotation | With more families owning their own homes, more people will both bequeath and inherit assets. A key issue that this raises for social policy is whether people maintain their assets to leave as bequests (potentially raising the living stands of their children) or use them in later life to improve their own living standards. A survey of 2000 people by the authors of the full report, Karen Rowlingson and Stephen McKay, produced the first nationally representative study of attitudes to inheritance in Britain. (KJ/RH). |
