Executor

Effective for the 2007 Tobacco Transition Program (tobacco buyout) the executor or administrator of a deceased producer must bring in a copy of the death certificate and the will, in order to complete forms in our office which will establish the payments as an estate. If the estate is settled, heirs of the deceased producer must bring in proof of the heirs and complete the required forms. The Boyle County Farm Service Agency can be contacted at (859) 236-4062, ext. 2.

A legal battle between a local church and Oral Roberts University over some money left in a Danville woman's will has been settled with both sides getting a piece of the pie. Boyle Circuit Judge Darren Peckler signed an order earlier this month giving 55 percent of about $100,000 in Anne Collier Martin's estate to The Presbyterian Church of Danville and 45 percent to the college in Tulsa, Okla., founded by the famous televangelist. Danville attorney Richard Campbell, executor of Martin's estate, asked for a ruling after a discrepancy was discovered in her will.
