Details
“Identified wealth” is the wealth represented by estates passing on death each year and requiring a grant of representation, grossed up to reflect the living population using mortality rates. Not all estates require a grant of representation, and hence the figures given in this table do not represent the entire population. The “identified wealth” population for 2011 to 2013 was 30% (15.153 million) of the average UK adult population, and 27% (14.072 million) for 2014 to 2016.
