Contact the Public Administrator's office for your county. They are the point person on deceased estate's and can help you out a bit. The estate is possible for rent until you re-rent the unit. You need to be in contact the executor of the estate to see if they want to continue to hold the lease (as they do have the right to do, but they do not have the right to re-assign occupancy without permission) or if they are looking to get out of the lease. If they're trying to get out of the lease, start showings immediately and make sure they are aware they are liable for the payments.

If there is no probate filed, as a creditor you can file the probate case if you want to, in order to settle your claim against the estate.
