What is the name of your state? PA
(this is the short version... the full story can be located in this forum in message "Executor is Suffering")
1) House owned by two parties in joint survivorship. One dies, house goes to second party automatically. The house was the only asset at time of death. Does Will need to be probated?
2) In order for the survivor to pay Inheritance Tax, does the Will need to be probated?
3) Original Will is missing. Only a copy, and copies of the copy can be found. Is this a problem whether or not the Will needs to be probated?
