The early sale may be used by those who are unable to perform בדיקת חמץ, and with the early sale, will technically
not be in position of owning any חמץ and will thereby beפטור from בדיקת חמץ for any sold or rented properties.
All חמץ should be put away before the sale takes place except for theחמץ that the person plans to eat on ערב פסח prior to the fourth hour of the day which will be excluded from the sale. The online forms should be submitted prior to the time of the sale, but if need be, even after that, prior to the end of the fifth hour of the day on ערב פסח.
It should be assumed that any חמץ has not been repurchased prior to one hour after nightfall on April 23th 2022 (approximately 9:30 PM CDT)
Forms can be filled out on behalf of someone else, with verbal authorization. For example, someone can call their rabbi on the phone, and the rabbi can fill out the form online on their behalf.
