Q: Should I wait until I'm officially her Personal Representative to notify her creditors of her death, or start now?

My sister died recently with a lot of debt, including a trailer that may be condemned. Since becoming a PR in Arizona takes time, I want to know if I must wait to notify her creditors until it's official. My concern is that interest and late fees will increase her estate's debt.
