Project status

Goals and results

This reform will make it possible to handle matters related to information on the parties to a deceased estate, estate inventory and inheritance tax digitally at any time and any place. To this end, the programme is developing new services, including a digital service platform for deceased estates, a digital estate inventory and inheritance tax return, and a register of parties to deceased estates.

Starting points

The programme is based on the Programme of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's Government, which states that during the government term, the Government will carry out projects to digitalise public and private services relating to life and business events so that these services operate seamlessly together. One such project is to ensure the ease of managing the affairs of a deceased relative.

Developing and statute drafting in the Government

The ministries implement the Government Programme, draft acts and other statutes, and promote reforms through different kinds of projects, working groups and bodies. Information on all this is available on the Government website.

All ministries' projects are available on the Government website valtioneuvosto.fi/en/projects
