What is defined as an "Interested Person" in relation to a vacancy?

An "Interested Person" in relation to a vacancy is defined as a person with a present legal interest in the estate of the land. This definition emphasizes the importance of having an established legal right or claim associated with the property in question. A present legal interest means that the individual has rights that are enforceable under the law, giving them a significant stake in matters concerning the estate.

This status is particularly important during processes such as estate administration, where those with legal interests are typically entitled to be informed about proceedings, can participate in discussions regarding the estate, and may have rights to claim under the estate, including any possible distributions.

The other choices lack this essential characteristic of having a legal interest. A good-faith claimant may not have a legal interest recognized by law, whereas an applicant for a land position and a person with no legal interest in the estate are not defined as "Interested Persons" because they do not possess an enforceable legal claim or right related to the estate.
