and promotes the interests of crofting in Scotland

Report a death

We recognise that reporting the death of a crofter is a sensitive matter. This straightforward process will help you meet your statutory responsibilities.

You should:

  • Search for the relevant croft  associated with the person who has died using the search box below
  • Select the person's name from the list connected to the croft

We will then ask for the date of death, your contact information, and any details you might have about the executors or agents handling the estate.

Croft Search

You can search for the croft by entering a part of its name linked to the deceased. The search results will be displayed below the form.
