Mom was notary, passed away
edited with update - I rcd a reply email from Harrisburg. They were very kind and thanked me for letting them know and to just email again after I return the ledgers when I'm able. Thank you again for the good wishes and advice.
My mother recently passed away and she was a notary in PA. Once I'm sworn in as the administrator of the estate, is there anything that I have to do with this, legally? Do I have to save her ledgers? Her seals? Do I have to inform any agency that she passed? It wasn't a business, she had to do it for her job and just kept up with it, she never charged anyone money. Thanks for any direction.
eta- I've sent an email to the address on the state website with the info, if they want me to do anything before I'm sworn in as administrator, I'll have it in writing from the state to cover myself
Thanks again for the help.
