[WSBARP] King County Death Certificates - Off Topic Question

[Nicholas Pleasants]

In King County, my experience is it takes about 2 weeks for a death certificate. I had a client pass on 7/29/21 and death certificate issued 8/10/21. We’re still waiting on death certs for clients passing on 8/10 and 8/12, but I expect those to be issued this week. If it is taking longer than 2 weeks, I suspect there is some issue unique to your case preventing the timely issuance of the death certificate.

You might try asking the funeral home how long it currently takes during Covid.  When my dad died about three years ago, it was only about a week, but the funeral home that did the cremation was able to tell me what to expect.

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.
