Death is very sad thing that could happen to a member of a family.
Securing a death certificate facilitates whatever benefits or inheritance you can
get out of this sad occurrence. This legitimizes any transfer of properties or assets
one could leave behind. This is also required should the spouse left behind wants to
get married again.
