Access to the tax affairs of a deceased person
If you need to view or change the tax affairs of a deceased person, you can log in via our website.
In the case of more than one heir, you must give one of you access to make changes.
View tax information
Anyone who has taken on responsibility for a decedent’s estate will automatically have access to the deceased person’s tax information.
Change tax information
If you’re the sole heir, you’ll automatically get the access necessary for managing the decedent’s estate.
To change or submit the tax return online, and to change the account number for the decedent’s estate, you must grant one person power of attorney as the probate representative for tax affairs.
What to do:
- If you’re to be the probate representative, the other heirs must grant you power of attorney. You do not have to do anything yourself.
- If you want to grant power of attorney to someone to be the probate representative of a decedent’s estate, you must log in to our website, select the deceased person’s name and register whom you want to grant power of attorney to.
What happens next?
Once a power of attorney has been created for the probate representative for tax affairs, we’re going to send an email or text message to the person who has been granted the power of attorney, and to those who have granted it.
The power of attorney only applies to the deceased person’s tax affairs and lasts for three years from the start date. You can withdraw this power of attorney at any time.
Power of attorney for probate representation on paper
The Tax Administration does not have information about any power of attorney for probate representation granted by you on paper. Neither can we give online access to anyone based on a power of attorney on paper.
