legatee, trustee or other person, the Board shall transfer the certificates issued to the original producer to the heir, executor, legatee, trustee or other
person, and until the transfer, the Board may appoint such person as it
thinks fit to cultivate the plantation of the original producer and supply the
leaf tobacco to the Board.

balance of any amount remaining after the payment of all expenses incurred
by that person shall be paid over to the heir, executor, legatee, trustee or
other person to whom the certificates are transferred.
(3) (a) The person to whom the certificates have been transferred under
this section shall, while he has any interest in and control over any green
tobacco and leaf tobacco or of any of the proceeds of green tobacco and
leaf tobacco, be deemed to be a producer.
(b) The Board shall have the same powers and obligations in connection with leaf tobacco delivered to it under subsection (1) as if the leaf tobacco had been delivered by the original producer.
(c) Any basic quota and basic acreage allotted under section 16 to
the original producer may be transferred in whole or in part to the heir, executor, legatee, trustee, or other person to whom the certificates have been
transferred under this section or, where the heir or heirs are minors, to the
guardian of those minors, or the Board may transfer the whole or part of the
basic quota and basic acreage to any other person it thinks fit.
