Q: How may a biological parent request the funeral and medical records for their deceased adult child?
I wasn't notified of my child's death.
A: Once a child turns 18, you have no independent right to access their records. There would certainly be a death certificate on file with the county clerk's office, which is a public record anyone can access (for a fee). Other than that, if you want to look deeper into things (and depending on the cause of death, there may not be anything else to look at), you may need to open a probate estate and contact an attorney about a wrongful death action.
