Sec. 72.38  Collection of debts due deceased.

    The consular officer should endeavor to collect only those debts due 
the decedent from persons or concerns in the country in which the death 
occurred or in the country in which the decedent was residing at the 
time of death. Debts so collected are regarded as part of the decedent's 
personal estate, and should be included in the gross amount thereof for 
the assessment of fees (Sec. 72.52).
