Statute adopted
Esityksellä mahdollistettaisiin kuolinpesän sähköinen asiointi toteuttamalla kuolinpesän osakasrekisteri ja kuolinpesän palvelualusta. Kuolinpesän osakasrekisteriin kerättäviä tietoja voitaisiin luovuttaa kuolinpesän osakasasemaan liittyviä tietoja tarvitseville ja hyödyntää kuolinpesän sähköisen puolesta asioimisen mahdollistamiseksi. Kuolinpesän palvelualustalla kuolinpesä voisi asioida kuolinpesän osakasrekisteriin, laatia perukirjan ja säilyttää asiakirjojaan. Esityksellä muutettaisiin perintöveroon liittyviä ilmoittamisvelvollisuuksia. Lakien tavoiteltu voimaantuloajankohta on 1.1.2027.

Goals and results
The task of the working group is to draw up a report in the form of a government proposal on the legislative measures required to achieve the objectives of the programme of Easing the management of the affairs of a deceased relative.
Starting points
The Government Programme of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo states that during the government term, projects will be carried out to digitalise public and private services relating to life and business events so that these services operate seamlessly together. As one such whole, easing the management of the affairs of a deceased relative will be ensured.
The Government Programme also states that the right and opportunities of people to manage and utilise their own data will be strengthened and acting on behalf of another person and attending to the affairs of a deceased relative will be facilitated.
The legislation under preparation will enable the implementation of development projects that are already under way (e.g. an electronic register of the shareholders of the estate and an electronic inventory deed), the aim of which is to streamline the electronic handling of matters concerning deceased relatives. The possibility to use traditional paper-based services will also be retained. In addition, the possibilities of implementing the electronic will and register of wills will be assessed on the basis of legislative and cost-benefit analyses and, if necessary, proposals for these will be drawn up.
The Ministry of Finance has appointed a programme Easing the management of the affairs of a deceased relative (VN/35368/2023) and a steering group for the programme. According to the appointment decision, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice are responsible for preparing the legislative amendments required by the objectives of the programme. A legislative working group has been appointed for the preparation of legislative amendments for the term 4.4.2024-31.10.2025.
