Q: How to get a certified copy of my deceased mom’s deceased husband’s death certificate.
Probate complete says my deceased mom’s property is now me and my siblings property. Realtor says her previously deceased husband’s joint tenancy removal requires a certified copy of his death certificate. There was a Quit Claim Deed on the land, and my mother was the last to pass.
A: You don't say who is the grantor and grantee of the quit claim deed, which could affect the answer. You should determine where your mother's husband died and request a copy from the appropriate governmental agency. If he died in Oklahoma, it is the Oklahoma Department of Health. You will have to provide documentation showing your connection to him: Copy of deed into them showing joint tenancy; copy of final decree of your mother's estate; and any other identification materials required in the application.
