the $11.50 VitalChek fee, but I think it is worth the try.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I represent a professional fiduciary who was appointed as administrator of decedent’s estate. Decedent died in Thurston county. The Administrator brought a certified copy of the Letters of Administration
to the vital stats office in Thurston County and requested a copy of decedent’s death certificate. She wants a long form because the SSN is needed and manner of death (for possible insurance benefits). The agent at office said she is not one of the authorized
people who can get a copy. Maybe she qualifies for the short form under RCW 70.58.A.530(10)(b)
</span><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:black">“A person that demonstrates that the certified copy is necessary for a determination related to the death or the protection of a personal or property right related to the death.”</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">
I’m reviewing RCW 70.58A.530 and the WAC 246-491-010 and don’t see an executor as someone entitled to get a long form copy. What am I missing?
