    2. Is it competent for the executor of an owner-occupier crofter to submit an application for consent to divide the owner-occupied croft?

    Is it competent for the executor of an owner-occupier crofter to submit an application for consent to divide the owner-occupied croft?

    Karen Macrae | 12 May 2025

    No, in relation to owner-occupier crofters, the definition provided by Section 19B does not include the executor of an owner-occupier crofter. Therefore, it would not be competent for the executor of an owner-occupier crofter to apply to divide.
