Petition for State of California Death Record for Long Missing Relative
My Aunt disappeared during a camping trip several years ago. An exhaustive search was made of the area she camped in, but no trace of her was ever found. Given that she was so close to her family and had no reason to want to disappear, the family all believe that she had an accident and is dead. We decided to petition to have her declared legally dead by asking for State of California death records. We will then have a memorial service for her. Every family deserves closure, and this way, we can say goodbye to her and honor her memory.
