Guessing at what the question is, go to the County Recorder's Office and you can obtain the needed certified copy of the death certificate; the original is kept by the County.

you may also require what is known as a small estate affidavit under 13101 of the Probate Code.The local stationary store should carry them but you will need to pay a Notary to to the oath.
