must have the trustee, executor, or administrator designate trust or estate land as excess land. Attributed parties designating trust or estate land as excess land must do so on their own Form 7-21XS. If some
of this land was designated as excess by the seller and your trust or estate purchased it without sales price approval by Reclamation, you must designate that land as excess on Form 7-21XS. You must
complete a Form 7-21XS for your trust or estate if your trust or estate holds any land designated as excess for any reason (for example, your trust or estate designated involuntarily acquired land as excess).
** NOTE: Complete Form 7-21FC for your trust or estate if land held in your trust or estate is attributed to any parties who exceed their nonfull-cost entitlements and such parties wish to or must have the trustee,
executor, or administrator select trust or estate land to receive water at full-cost rates. Attributed parties selecting trust or estate land to receive water at full-cost rates must do so on their own
Form 7-21FC.
