Dear Mr. Marzzacco:
The Department of Revenue received the draft Petition for
Approval and Settlement of Wrongful Death and Survival Actions
to be filed on behalf of the above-referenced. It was forwarded
to this Office for the Commonwealth's approval of the allocation
of the proceeds paid to settle the actions.
Pursuant to the Petition, the fifty-nine year old decedent
died within days of sustaining injuries upon being struck by a
motor vehicle. Decedent is survived by his adult daughter.
Please be advised that based upon these facts and for
inheritance tax purposes only, this Department has no objection
to the proposed allocation of the net proceeds of this action,
$26,431.54 to the wrongful death claim and $17,621.03 to the
survival claim. Proceeds of a survival action are an asset
included in the decedent's estate and are subject to the
imposition of Pennsylvania inheritance tax. 42 Pa.C.S.A.
~ 8302; 72 P.S. ~~ 9106, 9107.
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, I will not be attending any
