Typically you publish an ad in an acceptable newspaper of general circulation for the city where the decedent resided which links to a probate court file. The procedure is slightly different if in a probate or a trust administration. You also should send notice of death to known or potential creditors. The notification of creditors is to protect you so that the creditors do not come after you at a later date for the money.
