I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that their Sligo Revenue office received notification of the death of the person in question on 4th February 2011 from the solicitors acting on behalf of the estate. Pages 1 to 5 of form CA 24 were also enclosed. The office replied to this correspondence on 28 February 2011 asking for a copy of the Will and Grant of Probate as well as the outstanding pages (6 to 8) of form CA 24. These papers were received on 10th March 2011. Upon examination of the additional pages of form CA 24, a further query was sent to the Solicitors acting on behalf of the estate on 15th March 2011 and a reply was received on 28th April 2011.

Based on the information received, a letter issued on 12th May 2011 to the solicitors acting on behalf of the estate confirming that there was no outstanding pre-death income tax due. If the Deputy considers that there is some other issue outstanding, he should advise Revenue directly and the matter will be examined.
