Pennsylvania Intestacy CalculatorTM

 

See the Pennsylvania intestate succession statutes interpreted.  This is the only program that calculates the next of kin and the dollar amount given to each intestate heir according to Pennsylvania's intestacy laws. (Title 20: Decedents, Estates and Fiduciaries, Chapter 21, Intestate Succession)  You can also read selected portions of the state intestate laws or open the state government sponsored legal site HERE.

 

Enter an intestate estate value and answer the marital status question.   Continue answering questions until the answer is automatically shown.  (Keep trying until you learn when first cousins once-removed are entitled to a portion of the estate or when the estate escheats.)
