A Pennsylvania Statement of Abandonment [DSC:15-141] is a document filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State, Corporations Bureau, that states that a business entity is no longer active. This document certifies that the business entity has abandoned its legal existence in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There are two types of Pennsylvania Statement of Abandonment [DSC:15-141]: voluntary abandonment and administrative abandonment. Voluntary abandonment is when the business entity itself files a statement of abandonment with the Corporations Bureau. Administrative abandonment is when the Corporations Bureau files a statement of abandonment due to non-compliance with state laws. Both types of abandonment are used to terminate the legal existence of a business entity in Pennsylvania.
