Deceased taxpayer(s) and Form 56

I completed entering my deceased parent's information into TTax 2019, tried to file, and received an error message (e-file rejected). My best option is now to print a hardcopy and mail in the return.

Now I find IRS Form 56!

 

If I read the instructions correctly, I need to file a separate Form 56 for my father, my mother, AND for the trust - all naming me as fiduciary as per the Certificate of Trust I hold:

1) Do I file three Form 56 as described (individually for each parent and the trust)?

2) Can Form 56 be mailed concurrent with the filing of the return, or even in the same envelope?
