Death certificate

I am not sure what you want - without the name and age noone can really help !

Was the brother or his wife receiving any benefits at the time if so the registrar issues a form to notify the DWP at the time of registration that might be another avenue to try

Plenty of us on Facebook hunt for certificates all the time Ancestry UK / Ancestry UK discussion group - we find things people never expect to find.

When someone dies the MCCD is given to the relatives who take it to the registrar who gives then the death certficate and the green form, they take the green form to the funeral director.  FD won't do a thing without that bit of paper.

On occasions if there is likely to be an inquest, the coroner will issue an interim certificate + green form - this allows funeral to go ahead and the death is formally registered later.

it is really difficult and frustrating when you can't find the one bit of paper that you need to sort out the house sale money etc

getting the facts straight - are you absolutely sure he died? didn't do a runner somewhere in a moment of madness?? 

Did you go to the funeral? if so then there must have been a green form provided by the registrar otherwise the funeral can't have gone ahead. 

I can only think that there must have been a significant delay because of an inquest, that there was some misspelling of a name, or in fact it was registered in another district  by statutory declaration and the registration never got back the to original district

I thought everything with regard to mother's estate was finalised months ago? wasn't her son's death certificate required then?

This new thread certainly clarifies why the solictors are unwilling to release 50% of the proceeds from the house sale referred to in the other thread. The brother with the missing death certificate is a potential beneficiary of his mother's estate - and they do not have a document to show that he died before the mother. So of course they cannot release his potential share to his sister.

Yes he definitely died 😒 Iv searched the register for England not just a town or city there’s no one of the age or name like I said they have the telephone record when his wife rang but there’s nothing been registered

You contacted Sheffield Register Office in 2023 - and they disclosed to you that someone else (the brother's wife) had called them, 3 years ago, on the 20th December 2019 to tell them that her husband had died - but no formal record was created?

I know death certificates are publicly accessible - but do register offices really disclose who has phoned them? And what they phoned about? 3 years later?

Everything was sorted months ago and they never asked for the death certificate until 22nd December we have the accounts in the will it states if one dies before the other then the other one receives everything the solicitor knows he died 4 years ago but never asked for certificate until now it even says my wife as received all the money which she as not basically they have said bring the death certificate and we can release the other half of the money it also shows no interest in there calculations which we are going to bring up
