We really had nobody to turn to ask the questions we didn’t know. Things like mother’s middle name or worse maiden name needed to be filled out. Things like name, gender, and even SSN were pretty straight forward.īut as we went down the list of questions, we started to panic. The death certificate was filled out by the funeral home, but we needed to provide details about the life of our parent.įor the most part, we knew a lot of the information. One of the responsibilities we got after our parent had passed away … was to help answer questions to fill out their death certificate. This may sound like no big deal … but it actually was a bit stressful! Filling Out the Death Certificate of a Loved One We will eventually get this money back, but still needed to come up with a bunch of money in a short amount of time.Īnother thing we had to help with was filling out the death certificate of the parent who recently passed. We are honored to fulfill these responsibilities … but that doesn’t mean things have been easy.įor example, we had to spend almost $10,000 of our emergency fund on expenses for their estate. Since both parents have passed, the duties have been passed down to my wife and I to handle. Then with the news of the other parent passing, it has made for a difficult couple of years.Īs our family has spent a lot of time grieving, we have also been tasked as the executor of their estate.
It was actually a little over 2 years ago that we lost the spouse of this parent.
