SB1264 requires estate representatives to notify various state agencies of a decedent's death to facilitate child support collection.

SB1264 amends the Probate Code to mandate that estate representatives notify the Department of Child Support Services within 90 days of receiving letters testamentary or of administration if the decedent had a child support obligation. This notification allows local child support agencies to pursue collection of any outstanding child support orders. The bill also requires notification to other state agencies under specific conditions, such as if the decedent received health care under certain chapters of the Welfare and Institutions Code or if they were the surviving spouse of someone who did.
