Death of parent/debts/assets

My father died with no assets, but with debts. Should I send a copy of the death certificate to the debtors, do you have letter sample?

Yes, that would be a good idea. A letter from an attorney explaining that he died pennyless and that there are no assets available for distribution would also help.
