Pennsylvania HB1176 amends the state's intestate succession law and payments to family and funeral directors.

Pennsylvania HB1176 modifies the state's intestate succession law by adjusting the share distribution for those other than the surviving spouse. It also changes the conditions under which the State Treasurer can distribute unclaimed or abandoned property, now limiting such distributions to amounts of $20,000 or less. This bill affects individuals who have died in Pennsylvania and left behind unclaimed property, as well as family members and funeral directors who may receive payments from the State Treasurer.
