what is the Pennsylvania Inheritance tax rate on assets passing to a sister-in-law?
I believe the applicable tax rate would be 15% of the net value of the assets received. If the assets inherited are IRAs or life insurance, however, the rate may be different and there *may* be no tax at all. If you have any questions, you should consult with a CPA or tax attorney to make sure that you maximize any deductions or exclusions you might be entitled to.
