There basically two ways, one informal the other more formal. The easiest way is to write to the executor or administrator giving the particulars about the debt and amount owed and demand payment. The more formal way is to presnt the executor/administrator with a "prof of claim". This is just the same type of demand but is made in writing under oath. Generally, debts should not be paid during the first six months after death so you might have to wait a bit. Some states have laws prohibiting early payment.
