Taxes, Real Estate
The value of all real property
located within the state of Pennsylvania is taxable, including the value of
any portion transferred by a
right of survivorship as a result of the decedent's death.
Real property owned by a Pennsylvania
decedent, but located outside of the state is not taxable by
Pennsylvania. However, if the decedent had a contract to sell the property
located out of state and the sale was not completed at the time of death,
the remaining balance of the purchase price that is due under that contract
is taxable.
