Questions answered? Let's get started!

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.

(Florida Affidavit of Death Certificate Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

Amazing fast service. From the U.K. I was unable to get a check in U.S. dollars. This solved my problem as I was able to make payment with a card. So much faster than sending the documents from the U.K. via the postal service. Easy to use site, very quickly processed. Highly recommend

Why is Dade County not listed for the Lady Bird Deed?

Reply from Staff

Because on November 13, 1997, voters changed the name of the county from Dade to Miami-Dade.

You charge too much for a form. Your business model is shortsighted. I would not try to use your service again. You got $20 from me this once, but I would try very hard to not use your service again. Your model does not encourage serial or professional usage.

Thank you for your feedback John. We do wish that you had decided our product was too expensive prior to purchasing and using so that there was no remorse. Have a wonderful day.
