A reader asks if a husband can obtain a divorce without the wife's consent in Pennsylvania and about inheritance tax on a house when not on the deed. The answer: either spouse can file for divorce with grounds even without consent. uncontested divorces are common and contested ones depend on proof of grounds. The house would be sole property of the surviving spouse unless joint ownership exists, so inheritance tax applies if the husband survives the wife and receives the house by will. The second question notes small estates under 5000 can be settled via petition to the orphans’ court, a simpler process explained by an attorney.
