Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1001 (1)'of the
Inheritance and Estate Tax Act of 1961,a PROTEST is filed
against the action of the Register of Wills of Washington
'County allowing,on'October 1,1971,debts and deductions,
,including the family exemption,claimed in the Rose Rodzanskas ",E9tate.', " .
, A review of our record discloses that Mrs.Rodzanskas'
sole assets,.reportable for inheritance tax purposes,were two
bank accounts owned jointly with her daughter,Stella Forte.
On September 27,1971,both accounts were appraised by the
Commonwealth at one-half of their fUll value or $2,713.50.
Protestant contends the Register of Wills'allowance
of'debts and deductions against jointly owned ',assetswas im-.
proper unless the joint tenant,stella Forte,actually paid
these debts.
With respect to the family exemption claimed by Stella
Forte,Protestant contends the exemption is not deductible
because it cannot be claimed against jointly owned property.
,See Stevens'Estate 434 Pa.259.', .'
It is the Protestant's'position that,while the 'family
exemption is not deductible,the otherdebts~claimedare
allowable only to the extent that Mrs.Forte actually paid,
