What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Louisiana
My mother-inlaw recently passed away, leaving my wife and myself as her benificarys. She had an insurance policy that would pay for her home in the event of her death. The Insurance Company required a death certificate as proof of her death. Somehow an error was made in recording her SSN on the original death certificate. I applied to the Office of Vital Records for the State of Louisiana for an amended copy of the death certificate which would reflect the correct social security number. The only thing done to amend the mistake, was a line through, the incorrect number, and hand write the correct number above it. The insurance company will not except this as a legal document, even though it has the state seal. The Office of Vital Records says that the document is legal and will not modify the document. Is this a stall tactic by the Insurance Company. What legal recourse do I have to settle this matter? Any suggestions?
