An application was received on 14 May 2008 requesting the transfer of 8.73 Single Payment entitlements from a deceased person to the first person named under the 2008 scheme year. The deceased person died intestate and Letters of Administration were received naming three individuals as administrators of the estate.

The first person named has been written to on seven separate occasions requesting additional information, namely the signature of all administrators. An official from my Department has been in contact with the person named. Unfortunately, there is no alternative way of transferring the entitlements in question.
