French term or phrase: rétablissement des droits de succession
Division (of a will)

AAA is the deceased. CCC and DDD are his two sons.

"RETABLISSEMENT DROITS DE SUCCESSION
Les parties déclarent que la déclaration fiscale de succession après le décès de AAA n'a pas encore été déposée mais qu'elle sera envoyée pour enregistrement au Service de la Publicité Foncière et de l'Enregistrement de BBB immédiatement après la signature des présentes.
Toutefois, des acomptes sur les droits de succession ont été versés, le 29 octobre 2021 au SPFE de BBB pour le compte de Messieurs CCC et DDD :
Pour Monsieur CCC, un montant de XXX EUROS (000.000,00 EUR) ;
Pour Monsieur DDD, un montant de XXX EUROS (00.000,00 EUR).
Ces acomptes ont été réglés au moyen des sommes dépendant de la succession et donnent lieu à rétablissement."

...

"Figureront à l'actif à partager le rétablissement des acomptes versés (000 000 + 00 000) en ce compris la restitution à recevoir pour Monsieur DDD.
Monsieur DDD se verra attribuer le rétablissement de l'acompte versé pour son compte en ce compris la restitution à recevoir."

...

"Le rétablissement des droits de succession versés par acompte au nom et pour le compte de Monsieur CCC d'un montant de XXX EUROS (000.000 EUR)."

The meaning here is clear: the two heirs paid down payments on the inheritance tax. One of them paid too much and is due a refund (restitution) as part of the calculations.

The notary is now producing the definitive accounts to settle the estate, and the sums to be paid to all legatees. So the down payments are being included. This might be the word. Normally rétablissement would be something like "restoration"... but this doesn't seem quite right here.

inheritance tax adjustment
Explanation:
It's some kind of 'revisiting' mechanism for recalculated tax.

recalculated inheritance tax (+) add-back (-) clawback *relief*.

> 'paid down payments on the inheritance tax.' - made downpayments on a/c of death duties as per the 'inheritance (HMRC) account'.

Reinstated (Navarre) would connote re-introduction of such tax.

> donnent lieu à rétablissement : gve rise to adjustment.

> rétablissement des acomptes versés : adjustment of the payments made on account.

Query: whether settle vs finish administering and winding up the estate is not ambiguous for putting the estate into a trust

Example sentence(s):
  • The gifted property value (value upon gifting) is added to the inherited property value to adjust the inheritance tax.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks... The way I read it the tax is not being adjusted, it's the notary's calculations for it which are being adjusted. So if "adjust" is used, which looks good as a choice, I'd tend to put "adjustment to reflect payments made on account" or something.

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: "inheritance tax" is called ' death duties' in English legalese;

  -> another trivial point. Estate duty in the UK had been replaced in the UK in 1975 by Capital Transfer Tax for which I, working in probate, used to submit an 'Inland Revenue account' https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/death-taxes.asp
agree  Steve Robbie: ... and "inheritance tax" is the official UK legal term, contra the previous poster.

  -> Thanks, Steve. As mentioned to AB, I - when working in probate - used to submit an Inland Rev. account for CTT / Capital Transfer Tax then an HMRC account for Inheritance Tax https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/death-taxes.asp
agree  AllegroTrans: Yes, a final adjustment giving credit for the payment on account

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks... but I don't think this involves any change in taxation, or "reimposition". The notary made a cursory estimate at the start of the process and suggested payments on account to the two heirs. Now the notary has found the definitive figure for inheritance tax.

  -> Thanks Andrew - I did consider 'death duties', but in the end plumped for 'inheritance taxes'
neutral  AllegroTrans: I don't think the tax is being reimposed - this is about a final adjustment giving credit for a payment on account already made

Restitution of death duties


Explanation:
What Are Death Duties? Common Misconceptions …
https://www.executorsinsurance.co.uk/death-duties-common...
10/02/2015 · One of the chief roles of an executor, aside from distributing the estate to beneficiaries, is to calculate the entire value of the estate and determine whether death duties are payable. Death duties are deducted from the estate along with Inheritance Tax. No estate will have both death duties and Inheritance Tax deducted as they are in effect different names for …
