Selling house as executor. My PPS is required?

[Aine Coff]

I am executor of a family member's will. I am currently selling the house to pay off the estate debts. I'm told I must furnish my PPS number to conclude the sale. But it's not my house. I'm just the executor. Is this normal ?

 

[Thirsty]

Yes.

Strictly speaking, no, its the PPS number of the deceased or the deceased's estate that is required for Stamp Duty and LPT

But its not really a big issue, is it, being asked to provide it?

From Revenue
Tax Reference Numbers & Fiduciary Capacity
Capacity Vendor/Purchaser details required
Personal Representative (Executor/Administrator)
Name and Tax Reference Number of the deceased or the deceased’s estate (where assigned a separate Tax Reference Number)

Thanks for the replies. I will use the deceased PPS which I have used for LPT. I'm a first time buyer (seperately) and I don't want any confusion later on if my PPS records show I sold a house..
