Welcome to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue’s Financial Institutions Web Site.  This site allows financial institutions to access the list of decedents by county. The Department of Revenue issues this list from data it receives from the Bureau of Vital Statistics. 

By accessing the list electronically, the financial institutions are able to download the list of decedents and search their data bases to find specific decedents' financial accounts that the institution is required to report to the Department of Revenue under § 2147 of the Pennsylvania Inheritance and Estate Tax Act, “ Duties of depositories”.
