Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
Legal Right to Parent's Cause of Death
I live in FL. My father died in NJ. I
was not in will. Brother is co-
executor of will with so-called non-
related ''friend of father''. Brother
does not have copy of will and does
not want to pursue at this time.
Father signed paperwork when ill so
MDs could not give me any medical
information. I would like to know my
father's cause of death so I can put
closure on this and also for my own
medical history. What are my rights
to this information. Note - I do not
want money or property, only
information.

I agree with Bernard. As a family member you are entitled to get a copy, although a small fee might be charged.

If you call the funeral director, you can get a copy of the death certificate. Otherwise, contact the town clerk in the town he died and get a copy there.
