# §15.101. When should I notify the agency of the death of a person owning trust or restricted property?


There is no deadline for notifying us of a death.

- (a) Notify us as provided in [§ 15.103](/cfr/25/15.103.md) to assure timely distribution of the estate.
- (b) If we find out about the death of a person owning trust or restricted property we may initiate the process to collect the necessary documentation.
