It's beyond me in trying to understand how a question as to "which court clerk " do I go to, in order to file a court petition along with all other documents, that so many (not all) insensitive comments I've received, as to what to do and not to do about getting a death certificate corrected...

It seems that you did not read my post properly. All I wanted to know was: which court clerk to I file my petition, the affidavit and other documents at. I am not a greedy person. . .I am not amending the death certificate to fight someone over a trust. Whatever is in the trust, the trustee...

Well, you may think that I am wasting my time . . .because you posted: " You are wasting time trying to correct a document that doesn't matter if you get SS bennies or not. I don't believe I am wasting my time with a legal death certificate that is not correct. Some may feel that having...

Well I believe the puzzle is solved. the California Department of Public Health must have had a "heap" of complaints concerning according to the January 2017 "Affidavit To Amend A Death Record". . .it states: When correcting marital status (item 12), or when adding or changing a surviving...

Well I guess I should have been more clear when I said I don't want anything. But I did not say I was going to apply for survivorship benefits. . .I just was giving a scenario. What I want is to have the death certificate amended so that it is correct. As it is now. . .it is not correct. My...

Because it is not true. If I want to get survivorship benefits from Social Security, and need to produce the death certificate. . . as it stands now. . my husband did not have a wife. . because marital status states he was a widow. Plus, my name is not in the spot that it should be, that I am...

You are exactly right! The same thing I asked myself, and wondered the same thing. My only explanation is, (and I am guessing); the step-son did it intentionally, or he can claim he was not in his right mind when his father died and was just thinking about his own mother, or he just did it to...

I didn't know which forum to post this. . here it goes. My Husband died Jan.15,2018, we were separated, but not legally separated. The step-son, who's the informant, stated my husband was widowed ( his mom died 15 yrs ago). Also my name is left out as the surviving spouse. According to the...
