Written answers

Where an application is received to transfer a herdnumber upon the death of a herdowner my Officials may request such information as may reasonably be required to complete the transfer such as proof that the applicant is entitled to use the lands to which the herdnumber refers, e.g., a folio, deed of transfer, a valid lease, a rental agreement, grant of probate, letters of administration etc. In some circumstances, a redacted copy of a will may suffice. Where there is a dispute, an unredacted copy may be required. In cases where a grant has been obtained, a copy of the grant, which is a public document, will be requested. This process is compliant with GDPR.
