My sister-in-law and brothers-in-law are getting ready to close on their parents home. My husband is deceased and they are now asking for a copy of my husband's death certificate. Why would they need it?
Answer
Your husband may be on the title as a contingent beneficiary. His death certificate may be needed for recording to clear title.
Answer
I agree with Attorney Roth. If I had to guess, your brother and his siblings inherited or were granted the home. Your husband's name is still on the title. In order to sell, the buyer is going to need to know that all owners are joining in the sale - or are deceased. They can obtain this information from the Registry of Vital Statistics.
