22 C.F.R. § 72.33 Official notification to legal representative.
Title 22 - Foreign Relations
The preparation and forwarding of Form FS–192 complies with the law (22 U.S.C. 1176) as regards notification of death to the legal representative as well as to the Secretary of State. Failing by direct means to locate a legal representative, the consular officer may, if required in connection with the settlement of the estate, have recourse to giving public notice of the death in “one of the gazettes” (i.e., any suitable periodical) in the consular district.
