Amharc ar fhreagraA letter was issued by the Inheritance Enquiry Unit in my Department to the Legal Personal Representatives of the deceased in April 2017. This letter outlined procedures for the transfer of the herd number and entitlements of the deceased to the rightful beneficiary or to submit an application on the estate's behalf for 2017.
My Department has received no response to this letter. When the required testamentary documentation is received it will enable my Department to proceed with the transfer of the entitlements.
There has been no Transfer of Entitlements application submitted by the person named. Payments arising from the 2017 Basic Payment Scheme are due to the Estate of the deceased applicant.
