If you give more you have to live for 7 years before it falls out of your estate for inheritance tax. But if your estate will be less than £325,000 there would be no inheritance tax anyway.
If the people you give to are on means tested benefits they are allowed to have £6000 in savings before it affects the amount of the benefit.
