Get The Certificate Of Death

Following the death of a loved one, the coroner should issue a death certificate. Date and cause of death will be included on the death certificate. You will receive certified copies of the death certificate as part of the funeral home service. Obtain all copies you need for different entities if you need more than one.

Arrange Documents

Will

Identifying the executor of your loved one’s will and probating his or her will are essential. A will specifies how your loved ones’ property and possessions will be distributed.

Executor

Your loved one’s executor will distribute the property according to the wishes memorialized in the will. Furthermore, the executor will settle the estate as well as settle any outstanding bills.

Intestacy

A loved one’s estate is dealt with according to intestacy laws in your state without a will. All of the deceased’s property is inherited by the spouse and children.

Insurances

The death benefit of a life insurance policy goes to the beneficiaries named in the beneficiary’s will regardless of who is named in the will. End-of-life insurance is usually carried by most people for at least $10,000 or $15,000. A copy of the death certificate is required for the policies to pay out.

It is possible to determine whether your loved one had health insurance by checking their bank account statements. You may also want to ask their employer if their company offers group life insurance.

Arrange Finances

The beneficiary designations on these accounts may have been made by your loved one in their will or in their survivorship and beneficiary designations. There is no way around the requirement for a death certificate from these institutions.
