My Department received a 2012 Transfer of Entitlements form on 14 May 2012 to transfer entitlements by lease from the Estate of a deceased person to the person named. The person named had been leasing these entitlements until 31 December 2011 whereupon the lease expired. My Department wrote to the Representatives of the Estate of the deceased person in August 2012 advising them that it was not possible to transfer entitlements from the estate of a deceased person. The estate of the deceased should firstly be distributed and the beneficiary of the entitlements may subsequently lease them to a third party. To date my Department has not received any further correspondence on this issue.
An application under the 2013 Single Payment scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2013. Processing of this application is almost complete and payment is expected to issue shortly.
