A grieving widow needed help on a life insurance problem over a death certificate technicality in Nassau County. Nina Pineda has the story.A Brooklyn mother and wife was grief-stricken, dealing with the sudden and tragic death of her husband, but when a frustrating technicality tripped up what should've been an easy life insurance claim, the widow turned her anguish into action and called for help from Nina Pineda and 7 On Your Side.
When the 51-year-old died, the widow was left with some big bills, including the funeral, which can't be paid until they can collect his life insurance death benefit."Very frustrating, because my husband was the sole provider and being that he passed away, it made things very difficult," Lynn said. "I'm sending the one I got from the funeral home which is a certified copy with a raised seal," she said."For me its infuriating and she's going through a hard time and they're making it even harder," Lynn's son said.
7 On Your Side confirmed it with the Registrar's Office of Vital Statistics, which said they cannot and do not ever hand out original death certificatesAnd she says when she tried to reach the company, they stopped communicating with her.
