Death certificates will state pending when laboratory studies or further investigations are needed to determine the cause and/or manner of death.
The pending death certificate is legal proof of death. Some insurance companies and financial institutions may accept pending death certificates for the purpose of paying benefits or handling other accounts.
What does this mean? When will the final cause of death be determined? Often when an autopsy is performed additional information may be required to obtain a final determination. As a result, the actual cause of death is not initially listed on the death certificate. The cause of death may be listed as pending.
In addition to the Beneficiary Statement and an original certified death certificate, letters testamentary (an order by the Probate Court, sometimes referred to as appointment papers, certificates of appointment or letters of administration) may also be required.
