Important: Probate Deadlines & Requirements
Pennsylvania requires probate to be initiated by filing a petition with the Register of Wills. The inheritance tax return (REV-1500) is due within 9 months of death—a 5% discount applies if paid within 3 months. Failure to file can result in penalties and interest.
Executors and administrators have fiduciary duties to all beneficiaries and creditors. Proper accountings and notices protect against personal liability. Notice to creditors triggers a 1-year deadline for claims against the estate.
All documents are drafted and reviewed by a PA licensed attorney.
