Pennsylvania HB1091 amends intestate succession laws to specify the order of inheritance for estates without a surviving spouse.

Pennsylvania HB1091 amends Title 20 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to detail the order of intestate succession when a decedent leaves no surviving spouse. The estate first passes to the decedent's issue, then to the parents, followed by the issue of the parents, then to the grandparents, uncles, aunts, and their children and grandchildren. If no eligible relatives are found, the estate goes to an endowed community fund. The bill also defines "community foundation" and "endowed community fund." This act will take effect in 60 days.
