Re: File Number 21 07 - 7000
Dear Revenue Representative:
In reply to your letter, dated October 23,2007, I relay the following:
1.) Your publication, Instructionsfor Form Rev-1500, PA Inheritance Tax Return
Resident Decedent, specifically states under the topic WHO MUST FILE, "An
Inheritance Tax return must be filed for every decedent who has property
which is or may be subject to tax."
2.) This same publication, under the topic TAX PAYMENTS AND CREDITS,
SCHEDULE E, Cash, Bank Deposits, & Misc. Personal Property, paragraph
5, states, "For estates of decedents with a date of death after December 12,
1982, all life insurance policies on the life of the decedent, payable to the
estate or to a named beneficiary, are exempt from Inheritance Tax."
Considering these regulatory parameters, I conclude that I need not report to you; but, I
voluntarily submit these statements of fact:
1.) Having conducted due diligence regarding my Father's financial status at the
time of his death, November 13,2001, I learned that he died without property
of any kind. His former attorney, Robert DiOrio, Esq., Media P A, informed
me that Dad died without a will and that his estate was insolvent.
2.) On or about April 11, 2007, I was contacted by Michelle Lathrop, Claims
Settlement Representative for National Life Insurance Company (NLI),
Montpelier VT, and told that they desired to settle with me a life insurance
policy, numbered 119902 - Lawrence Isaacs, purchased for my Dad by his
former employer, H.H. Battles, Philadelphia P A. Her call was followed up
with documentation explaining to me what was needed to provide closure.
3.) As sole survivor of my Father, Lawrence Isaacs, I satisfied NLI's necessary
requirements for settlement of this claim. Mom divorced my father more than
1
thirty years before Dad died, and my only sibling, my brother Mark, died
more than nine years before Dad died. I alone survive Dad.
I stand on the facts of the literature defined by your offices in saying that I am not in any
delinquent status. Neither I, nor anyone else, knew of this life insurance policy until this
past April, several years after Dad's death. I also am not subject to Inheritance Tax as
per your literature.
I shall pay taxes on the interest earned while NLI pursued their search of me in order to
make settlement on this policy. I am waiting for tax return Form 1041, for the year 2007
to be printed and made available to the public.
I also fully intend to honor the filing required by Cumberland County - Register of Wills
which they have informed me is due by November 13, 2007.
Please close your file on this presumed, yet unfounded delinquency. I make myself
available to your questions and/or comments during normal business hours. My office
phone number is 203-837-8299.
Respectfully,
/0, I (\
