Question

How many death certificates should be ordered when someone dies?

Answer:

You will definitely need 3:

1. To probate a will

2. For the financial planner

3. For you to show banks, doctors, creditors, etc.

Plus, you will need one for each insurance policy carried by the deceased.

(A good number to start at is 5 death certificates.)
