How can I obtain an original death certificate because I am beneficiary but not executrix of will?

To obtain an original death certificate as a beneficiary, you can request it from the vital records office in the state where the death occurred. Typically, you will need to provide relevant information about the deceased, such as their full name, date of birth, and date of death, along with proof of your identity. Some states may require a relationship to the deceased to be established, so be prepared to provide documentation if needed. If you're unable to obtain it directly, you may also ask the executrix of the will to assist you in obtaining a copy.
