My father had submitted an application under the Agricultural Land Scheme and has since passed away before the application was processed by the Lands Authority. Can the application be transferred to my father’s heirs?
Provided that your father qualified to be granted a lease under the Agricultural Land Scheme, then the Lands Authority will transfer the application to those members of the family that would have been legally entitled [in terms of the Agricultural Leases (Reletting) Act] to the lease had your father in fact enjoyed such lease.
