If one dies indigent with no next of kin, but several (10 or so) friends around the country, each of whom would want to know of her/his death, who would notify each of those friends of the passing? Let's also assume that it would not be appropriate (because an unfair burden) to leave a will asking any one of those friends to contact all the others (as would be the case if there were a next of kin to do the notifications).
Is there an agency with whom it can be prearranged to contact all of the decedent's friends upon his/her demise? Or would one need to use a will to list the contact info of all the friends, and then request that, say, the County (or whatever agency searches for next of kin when an indigent individual dies) notify each of them?
If the answer to both of the preceeding questions is no, can anyone offer advice on ensuring that friends are informed in the event of one's demise (whether intestate or not)?
