Pennsylvania SB1203 allows for the affidavit-based transfer of a primary residence in small estates, independent of probate.
Pennsylvania SB1203 amends Title 20 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to introduce a process for the affidavit-based transfer of a primary residence in small estates. This process is independent of probate and allows for the transfer of real property valued at no more than $150,000. The bill authorizes county property offices to establish this process, which can be used by descendants, ascendants, or surviving spouses of the decedent. The Local Government Commission is required to study and report on these processes, with recommendations for continuation, expansion, or termination.
