[WSBARP] King County Death Certificates - Off Topic Question

[Rich Busch]

King County told a PR that it will take at least 2 months for the County to issue death certificates (8/1/21 date of death; no autopsy). The heirs need access to life insurance proceeds and will be challenged if they must wait at least 2 months for the death certificates before starting the life insurance claim process.  Does it really take King County 2 months to issue the initial death certificates, are there ways to get the certificates issued sooner, or is there a way to receive life insurance proceeds before the death certificates are issued?  Thank you in advance, and apologies for the off-topic question…the WSBA hasn’t processed my 2021 Solo/Small Firm section membership yet.
