Article 13U.K.Inheritance and anticipated inheritance
1.In cases referred to in Article 33(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, the farmer who has received the holding or part of the holding shall claim, in his name, the payment entitlements to be calculated for the holding or part of the holding received.
The number and value of the payment entitlements shall be established on the basis of the reference amount and number of hectares relating to the production units inherited.
2.In cases of revocable anticipated inheritance, the access to the single payment scheme shall be given only once to the designated inheritant by the date for lodging an application for the payment under the single payment scheme.
Succession under a contract lease or inheritance or anticipated inheritance from a farmer who is a natural person and who was a lessee of a holding or part of it, in the reference period, which would give right to payment entitlements, shall be treated as the inheritance of a holding.
3.In cases where a farmer referred to in paragraph 1 is already entitled to payment entitlements, the number and value of his payment entitlements shall be established on the basis of, respectively, the sum of the reference amounts and the sum of the number of hectares relating to his original holding and the inherited production units.
4.In cases where a farmer referred to in paragraph 1 meets the condition for applying two or more of Articles 19 to 23 of this Regulation or Articles 37 (2), 40, 42(3) or 42(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, he shall receive a number of payment entitlements not higher than the highest number between the hectares he inherited and those he declares in the first year of application of the single payment scheme and whose value shall be the highest value he may obtain by applying separately each of the Articles for which he meets the conditions.
5.For the purposes of Article 33(1)(b) of Regulation (CE) No 1782/2003 and of this Regulation, the definition in the national legislation for ‘inheritance’ and ‘anticipated inheritance’ shall be used.
