Who gets paid if the Flue-Cured Tobacco Quota Owner who received the Flue-Cured Tobacco Quota payment in the past has died?
Where a Flue-Cured Tobacco Quota Owner who was previously paid is now deceased, the individual(s) who inherited the deceased Flue-Cured Tobacco Quota Owner’s personal property are now entitled to receive payments from the Trust. If you are the heir of a Flue-Cured Tobacco Quota Owner who received payment from the Trust in previous years, you must enclose one of the following to show your eligibility for payment: (1) a death certificate and a validly executed will for the deceased, or (2) a list of heirs or document from a court showing qualification as an executor or administrator. The Trust will pay the estates of deceased quota owners so long as those estates remain open and the Board has not received the documentation listed above to pay the eligible recipient(s) of a payment.
