Amending a death certificate
The incorrect social security number (my deceased father's) rather than my mother's number was recorded on her death certificate upon her death Nov.25,2005. As successor trustee I have filed an amendment with the State Department of Vital Records. The anticipated leadtime to issue the amended death cert. is at least 5 months. Is there any procedure to move the process along quickly? Since her power of attorney ended with her death I am not able to move funds out of cds or sell stock or make timely financial decisions. Is there an interim document I can have drawn up? Thank you.
