This document allows someone to swear they have reviewed a death certificate and verify its contents for real estate transactions when the actual death certificate cannot be attached to the paperwork.
What this form DOES:
Confirms someone has seen and reviewed a certified death certificate
Provides sworn verification of death certificate details (date of death, state issued, certificate number, etc.)
Serves as a substitute for attaching the actual death certificate to real estate documents
What this form DOES NOT do:
This is NOT an "Affidavit of Death" (which removes deceased owners from property titles)
Does not transfer property ownership or update property records
Does not serve as official notice of death to banks or other institutions
Does not affect how property passes to survivors
When to use this form:
Use only when a title company, lender, or other party in a real estate transaction specifically requires verification that a death certificate exists but does not require the actual certificate to be submitted.

I wish I used this site more often. The format is pretty easy but the messages were invaluable and the staff were great. I was able to complete my transaction in a Covid environment from the security of my own home. Great service and tools!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I filed a Mechanic's Lien in PA. I appreciate that Deeds.com charges only a one time fee. When I took the completed paperwork to the Prothonotary Office, I paid a $70 Fee, but the staff looked over the documents and though it looked good. I recommend this service.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Need to offer option to download ALL forms as a single (bookmarked) PDF, rather than as separates... Quite inefficient as is.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The forms are very confusing when there is so much to download! Trying to keep track and make sure you have everything needed is terrible! I think I have everything but I was under the impression I would be filling it out online and with instructions... I am very disappointed to say the least!
Sorry to hear of your disappointment Helen. We have gone ahead and canceled your order and payment. We do hope that you are able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
