How long does a licensee have to report the death of a client in writing?

A licensee is required to report the death of a client in writing within 7 days. This timeframe is established to ensure that the necessary parties are informed promptly, allowing for appropriate actions to be taken in response to the client’s death. Timely reporting is crucial in maintaining compliance with regulations, providing closure for involved parties, and facilitating any needed administrative or legal processes that may follow a client’s passing. The 7-day requirement reflects a balance between prompt reporting and the administrative realities that may surround such circumstances.
