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”.

Now Available
You may now receive e-mail notices when new decedent listings are available.  To begin receiving these e-mails, visit the Administrator Financial Institution Access screen, found under the “Administrator Functions,” “Administer Access” option. Place a check mark in the box for “Receive Decedent Listing E-mail” next to the appropriate individual’s name.

*** ALERT ***
Effective August 1, 2011, all financial institutions must use the department's Web-based Financial Institution Decedent e-Services Center to access decedent data and submit Notices of Decedent Account Status, REV 1549, to the department electronically. After August 1, the department will no longer provide decedent data by paper or on compact disks, nor will it accept REV-1549 paper submissions.
