dauqhter; Joseph Koniqsberq an~ Betty Jean Geffrey (Petitioner).
At the time of the decedent•s death in 1969 Petit!oner1 executrix for
the eotate, failed to d.iacloee this asset. On August 13, l.979, she
discovered that these two transfers had been made. A supplemental

Ae transfers made within two year!l of <'leeedcnt•s death these
properties were held to he fully inelucUble in the decedent's .,state.
As to Lots 33 and 34, Petitioner avers that,
A. Sirni.lar properties were sold during
19~5-1979 for $S,ooo.oo to $3o,ooo.oo.
B. Property J.s in poor oondi tion --one
of the two storerooms and three of
the four apartments are vacant ~o
to dilapidated conditions.
c. Commereial real estate in the area
ha1!l depreciated.
D. ~1bject property was sold on Auqnst e,
1979, for a recorded consideration of ste,ooo.oo.
Therefore, Petitioner requests that the appralsement be re,uaec'l
Nellie ~onigsberq
~oard Docket No. 913303 INH
to r&flact a value of $14,ooo.oo.
The noard finds Petitioner's contentions hav& merit. After
a thorough review of the evidence submitted by tho Petitioner ineludinq,
the present condition of the property and its sale price in 1979, the
Board has determined that the evidence is sufficient to rebut the
Commonwealth's valuation of the property.
The Board of Appeals eonsid~rs $14,000.00 to be a fair market value
of the wbjflct property as of Nellie Koniqsherq'a date of death.
lil
As to lots 19 and 20, Petitioner a,rers thata
A. Property was purchased in 1943 for
~9,000.00.
n. The assessment of $~,150.00 in based
on a 30 percent valUAtion indicating
a market value of $10,500.00.
c. Similar properties were sold during
1968 through 1970 for $8,500.00
throuqh $l5,ooo.oo.
o. Property is A two story brick ho~:tse
located on a small lot.
E. neal estate valueo. remained constant

File No. 63-69-0722
A review of oJr records has disclosed that you are responsible for the settlement of the
above estate or, in the alternative, that you represent the responsible party.
Section 701 of the Inheritance and Estate Tax Act of 1961 requires the personal
representative of an estate and/or a transferee to make an inheritance tax return. In addition, Section
711 states that inheritance tax is due at the date of the decedent's death and shall become delinquent
at the expiration of nine (9) months after the decedent's death.
Our review shows that this estate remains open because:
__ An inheritance tax return has not been filed;
x_ Tax in the principal sum of $1,440.00 , plus six percent (6%) annual
remains due and unpaid. interest from 5-28-70
Inheritance tax returns and tax payments must be filed with the Register of Wills of the
county in which the decedent resided at the time of death.
Our records indicate that action on the items checked above is now past due. However,
we are extending to you a ten-day courtesy period from the date of this letter to permit you to settle
this estate. If you fail to do so, the Department of Revenue will make a formal demand on you or your
client(s) and, if necessary, institute legal action.

Re: F.state of Nellie Konigsberg
File No. 63-69-0722
Date of Death: 2-28-69
Docket No. 913303
Dear Miss Kline:
Enclosed please find a copy of our appraisement to the supplemental
retur,., filed August 16, 1979, and appraised September 21, 1979.
At the time of her death she had a Will in which she devised her
real estate to her son and daughter, however, withi,., two weeks of her
death she transferred her real estate to them in 1/2 shares, with right of
survivorship, which was not reported on the original return filed i,., her
estate. A period of ten years lapsed between the time of her death and
the reporting of this'transfer.
These two parcels of real estate, one a brick house known as 215
Ninth St., and the other a two story brick apartment building with store
room at ground level in the business district of Donora continued to be
held by her children namely Joseph Konegsberg, now deceased as of July 14,
1977, refer to File No. 63-77-1198, and Betty Jean Geffrey until
Ja,-,uary 27, 1977.
At this time Betty Jean and Joseph executed a deed wherein for a
consideration of $5,000.00, which can not be considered a true consider-
ation since the parties are related being brother and sister not bona
fide seller and purchaser, in whi.ch Betty Jean conveyed her 1/2 interest
in the house to·Joseph. By virtue of this same deed this property be-
came solely that of Joseph and simultaneously vested title in Faye,
Josephs' wife, as tena,.,ts by the entireties. Obviously the $5,000.00
consideratio,., was used to establish value in Josephs' estate, who died
Page 2. December 19, 1979 ,.
> --~ To: Ann G. Kline ...
Rc: Estate of ~ellie Konigsberg
File No. 63-6<l-0722
approximately six months after this transaction and whose return was filed
prior to the fil i.ng of a supplemental return in ~~ellie' s estate. This same
$5,000.0.0 consideration was apparently used as the basis for valuation in
.her estate.
Although the return specified l/2 interest in realty under Schedule "A"
the fact is that this particular piece of realty was infact entirely owned by
Joseph and hiS wife by virture of the transfer and in all probability should
have been considered to be fully taxable by establishing a fair market value
for the entire property as of 1977 and deducting the $5,000.00 consideration.
As the matter now stands this property was appraised at 1/2 o'~ership of fair
market value est~blished to be $16,000.00.
In my "pinion the fair market value was actually somewhere in the
neighborhood of $25,000.00, less $5,000.00 and having a taxable value of
$20,000.00. Apparently this appraiseal is not in dispute but it does have
bearing on Nellie's estate.
Our appraisers actually took into consideration the economic conditio11
of Donora a11d realize that this factor has a tendency to depress and stabilize
realty values i11 this area, particularly over the last ten years. Apparently
this same approach was used by the preparers of the returns in both estates
with regard to this property. Our appraisers merely raised the values to
approximate a more realistic fair market value.
ln the return filed in the estate of Joseph the value of the apartme11t
building was returned at 1/2 value of $10,000.00, establishing $20,000.00 as
the entire value on th~, return. The one-half ownership i, this case is
correct. Betty Jea, and Joseph owning it joi11tly with right of survivorship
u11ti.l January of 1977 at which time each simultaneously vested their 1/2
oW"ership in their respective spouses, establishing te11ancy by the
enti.reities, each with 1/2 interest, thereby creating another transfexo.
lfsi,.,g the samE" appreach outlined above this value wa~ used to establish
the va luf' at thf' time of }:f!!lliE'!' S death and a COl1Servat ive • 05o/. il"'flation
rate appliPd tt' establish v•lue at the time of Jo!iieph's demi~e, thereby
establishing $20,000.00 as fair market value i,., the entirE'! prop~rty.
Apparently that valur is not in dispute but rather raising the value i"
Nellie's estatr from $14,000.00 to $20,000.00.
Actually this realty was ~old in August of 1977 to Robert 0. and John
E. Cupper for a r~corded co,.,siderat~on of $18,000.00, which may or may "ot be
a trur consideration but, bear i~ mi,.,d that this was two ypars after Joseph's
death i"' which timP the building was more or less allowed to deterioratP. ln

Dear Sirs:
ESTATE OF NELLIE KONIGSBERG, etc.
No. 63-69-722.
Date of Death: Feb. 28, 1969
In searching title to real estate in Donora I have discovered that Nellie Kon-
igsberg made a transfer of two parcels of real estate just two weeks prior to
her death on which no inheritance tax was paid. Papers filed with your office
by S. Barry Anderson, Esq., then representing the estate, show that tax and in-
terest was paid in the amount of $844. 97 on personalty only; final payment was
not made until September of 1977.
I am now representing the Konigsberg heirs in an effort to straighten out the
matter. I am filing herewith a Supplemental Appraisement reporting the transfers
which are taxable at 6o/o. I am holding money in escrow from the real estate sale
to ensure payment of the tax and interest. I would appreciate it if you could pro-
cess this matter as soon as;:s.poasible, sending all correspondence to the Executrix,
with copies to me as attorney for the estate, rather than Mr. Anderson.
You willtnote that decedent died February 28th, 1969. 'Therefore the values placed
on the real estate are considerably less than today's market.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If your appraiser has any ques-
tions please contact me.
