§ 588. Death or disability of acquirer

In case the acquirer dies or becomes disabled within the fifteen (15) years after having acquired the farm, the persons constituting his estate, including the widow or the woman who has been cohabiting outside the bonds of marriage with the deceased at the moment of his death in the first case, or the children, spouse or woman who has been cohabiting without the bonds of marriage with the disabled, may continue cultivating the farm subject to the restrictions imposed by this act, if they are interested in doing so. If they are not interested, the Commonwealth may acquire same for its fair value in the market or may authorize the purchase thereof by any person it may consider qualified according to norms established by § 581 of this title and in such case the acquirer shall be subject to the conditions and restrictions imposed by the original sale.

In case of death of the acquirer of any farm sold by the Secretary of Agriculture under the provisions of this title, without leaving heirs, or leaving heirs who are ineligible to own one of the farms under the provisions of this act, the farm shall revert fee simple to the Commonwealth to be devoted again for the purposes of this title.
