Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Death Certificate Authenticity

My uncle passed away last year. His death certificate has listed the woman he was living with as a spouse and marital status at the time of death as married, they weren't legally married. However this has been notorized by the funeral home and a local registrar. Is this considered falsification of a legal document? And what would be the procedure for getting this amended?

Re: Death Certificate Authenticity

If you can prove they weren't married you would have to petition orphans court to amend the certificate.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
