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 2014 to 2016 was 27% (14.072 million) of the average UK adult population.
