3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Beginning 60 days after enactment, the law raises the limit for direct family payments from $10,000 to $20,000. A financial institution may pay a deceased person’s funds directly, without the usual estate process, when its total holdings do not exceed $20,000. Payment priority is spouse, then child, then parent, then sibling. Families must present a receipted funeral bill or a licensed funeral director’s affidavit confirming satisfactory funeral-payment arrangements. The institution is allowed, but not required, to make this payment.
Beginning 180 days after enactment, the law raises the successor-payment limit for unclaimed property from $11,000 to $20,000. The Pennsylvania State Treasurer may distribute property or pay funds to qualifying successors of a deceased Pennsylvania resident. The property must have been reported to Pennsylvania and be in the Treasurer’s custody as unclaimed or abandoned property. The higher limit does not guarantee payment.
Beginning 60 days after enactment, local charitable funds become last-in-line heirs for assets passing without a will. A surviving spouse’s share is protected, and descendants, parents, siblings and their descendants, grandparents, and qualifying aunt-and-uncle relatives come first. When none of those relatives qualify, the remaining share goes to an eligible fund in the deceased person’s municipality, then school district, then county. If none exists in those places, Pennsylvania receives the money. The fund must be held by a community foundation, support charitable causes, and be intended to last forever. The foundation must have existed for at least 10 years, support varied charitable work, and have federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. It must seek endowment gifts from many donors, be publicly supported, and meet federal rules for treatment as one entity. It must also have an independent governing body not appointed by one outside entity and receive an annual independent financial audit.
