An Act amending Title 20 (Decedents, Estates and Fiduciaries) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for uniform partition of heirs property and for uniform real property transfer on death.

Summary

This bill updates Pennsylvania's inheritance laws by adopting two uniform acts designed to protect property owners and their families. First, it protects families who inherit property without a will by giving them the right to buy out a relative's share before the property can be sold to an outside buyer. Second, it allows property owners to designate a beneficiary to automatically inherit their real estate upon death, avoiding the probate court process.
