Quick Summary
If you've received immovable property or investments following the death of a relative without a will, it's generally not taxable in your hands. In the absence of a will or gift deed, the legal heir, typically the daughter in this case, is the rightful owner. Inheritance itself is tax-exempt in the UK, and taxability only arises once legal transfer of possession is complete.

If will was not made, only daughter can get her inheritance. To daughter it will be tax-exempt.

Inheritance is not taxable.
Until and unless legal tranfer of possession was not made , no taxability arises.

you can't take that property or investment unless a will or gift deed was executed in your favor. 

if no will or no gift deed that her daughter will be the owner of that property and investment and it is tax free in her hand.
