Alternatively, you may provide documentation showing that you are acting on behalf of an immediate family member or person with a legal interest in the estate.

- 3). Sign the application form.
- 4). Decide how you want to submit the application form. You may submit forms by mail or in person. A $10 fee is required.
- 5). To submit the form in person, take it to the department office and pay the $10 fee in cash, by money order or cashier's check. Money orders and cashier's checks should be made payable to Pasco County Health Department. If you mail the form, the fee is payable by money order or cashier's check only.
