Was there an inquest after his death?  If so the death will have been recorded in the month of the inquest not the date of death.

Have you contacted the undertakers who dealt with the funeral?

I don’t think there was an inquest I know his organs was donated but I have access to 2018 2019/2020 deaths and he’s not on any anywhere  in U.K. ?

Undertakers can use an interim death certificate in order for the funeral to go ahead.

BTW which country as the death in ?

I wonder if there's something on one of the ancestry sites that would be of help.  I'm thinking that there might be a forum there with willing volunteers to do multiple searches on your behalf.  Face it, if anyone can find a death or birth certificate it's going to be that crowd!!!.  

Wondering too why you need the death certificate 4 years on.  Maybe there's some way around this??  i.e. declaration from their GP or something???

The brothers mother recently deceased which just leaves my wife the daughter her solicitor needs to see the death certificate to distribute the house sale proceeds

So presumably that means that everything goes to your wife if BiL had no children.  But if he had children then it's whether his half can be paid to them directly or not.  

I'd go back to the solicitor and see what the alternatives are - assuming you haven't asked that already.

No everything goes to my wife as it’s in the will it states whoever proceeds the other gets everything the solicitor has already paid half the estate so basically when they see the death certificate she can have the other half
