Re: Estate of Seneca Allen
File Number: 2106-0152
Date of Death: 2/6/06
Court Number: CCP Cumberland Co. No. 06-3038
Dear Mr. Nealon:
The Department of Revenue received a petition concerning the approval of Settlement
Claim to be filed on behalf of the above-referenced Estate in regard to a wrongful death and
survival action. It was forwarded to this Bureau for the Commonwealth's approval of the
allocation of the proceeds paid to settle the actions.
Pursuant to the petition, the 5-year-old-decedent died as a result of a pedestrian/motor
vehicle accident. The heirs to the decedent's estate are her parents. Therefore, any proceeds
paid to settle the survival action would pass to the decedent's parents and would be subject to
a zero percent inheritance tax rate. 72 P.S. 99116(a)(1.2). Accordingly, regardless of the
allocation of the subject proceeds, there would be no inheritance tax consequences.
Please be advised that based upon these facts and for inheritance tax purposes only,
this Department bas no objection to the proposed allocation of the proceeds of this action,
80% to the wrongful death claim and 20% to the survival claim. Proceeds 'of a survival action
are an asset included in the decedent's estate and, although subject to the imposition of a zero
percent inheritance tax rate in this instance, they must be reported on decedent's Pennsylvania
inheritance tax return. 42 Pa. C.S.A. 98302; 72 P.S. 999106, 9107. Costs and fees must be
deducted in the same percentages as the proceeds are allocated. In re Estate of Merrvman,
669 A.2d 1059 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1995).
I trust that this letter is a sufficient representation of the Department's position on this
matter. As the Department has no objections to the Petition, an attorney from the Department
of Revenue will not be attending the hearing regarding it. Please contact me if you or the Court
has any questions or requires anything additional from this Bureau. Finally, the approval of this
. allocation is limited to this estate and does not reflect the position that the Department" may
take in any other proposed distribution of proceeds of a wrongful death/survival action.
