Notify insurance companies.
Locate the will and notify your lawyer and the executor.
If your loved one was living alone, notify utility companies, if applicable the landlord, and tell the post office
where to send all mail.
We will prepare Social Security Form SSA-721. Check with the Social Security Administration to see that
