Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: Left a buddy's pension but can't get without death certificate

Someone has been representing the estate and an Executor or Administrator should have been appointed and may be represented by an attorney. A simple call to the Surroagte's office in the County where the decedent resided at date of death should result in your getting the necessary information. To have been appointed, a death certificate was required. A copy can then be provided your dad by the Executor/Adminstrator or the attorney for the estate.

Try calling the funeral parlor.

Assuming that you have given all of the needed information (and no insult, I assure you, it is almost impossible for a person to give ALL of the critical information in a posting like this), then you may want to consider the following ideas.

It sounds like you have tried to get this on your own, and it sounds like you need an attorney's assistance to get it done. It should not be too terribly difficult.

If you would like, give me a call to set up an appointment; I am in northern New Jersey. My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.

Disclaimer: you can not rely on the advice of an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.
