Obtaining death certificate

Roberto Delgado
Posted

Hey guys, so I posted a few weeks ago about a property in which the owner has passed away and her husband is in a senior home in which no one knows where. I have requested the will (if there's one) and I also wanted to request the death certificate as it was suggested by a Pro member on here. Prior to ordering, it says that the applicant must be of some relation to the decedent, I am not. Do I still go through with the order or should I not? If not, what should be my next step?

Also, this same property has a couple thousand of back taxes between the years of 14-18, the owner passed in 2015. after 2018 there's been a $0 balance, what could this mean? The house is in bad shape, windows opened, its been trashed, copper stolen, basement flooded and has fallen victim of drug use and homeless people sleeping inside.
