Who do you notify when a spouse dies?

Answer 1

It is not exactly clear as to the meaning of "Who do you notify ...?" however, the age of the deceased is not relevant. If the person was under the care of a physician, in nursing or medical facility, then it is the responsibility of that facility to notify authorities. If the person dies in their home then the police should be called and they will assist in having the body transported whether it is to a funeral home or the medical examiner's office. If the question pertains to creditors, the spouse of family member can notify the creditors of the person's demise, written correspondence with supporting evidence of death is preferred. Creditors have probate estate departments which handled such issues. The deceased assets and debts will be paid and distributed in accordance with the will and the state probate laws and will be handled by the executor or executrix named. If the person died intestate, the judge will appoint an excecutor or executrix and the state probate succession laws will apply.
