Abstract: Used by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Directorate of Debt and Claims Management to contact a probate court to determine if a deceased debtor has left an estate. According to DoD 7000.14-R, Volume 5, Chapter 29, action must be taken to recover debts owed the DoD by individuals, including those no longer drawing a salary from the United States. If an individual dies prior to liquidating an indebtedness, it may be possible to collect all or part of the indebtedness from the estate.
