Within a short time of death either an executor is appointed through the will, or the court appoints an administrator.
The executor or administrator step into the shoes of the deceased. They are legally termed the “Legal personal representative”. You can ask the next of kin who is the LPR or failing that you can search the records of the Supreme Court where the probate documents are registered.
You can then present the outstanding bills to the administrator and ask for payment. Whilst the LPR is responsible for the debt, if they don’t have the cash themselves, or the estate is asset rich but cash poor, then the strata will probably have to wait it out.
