Hello: I'm a probate paralegal in Idaho. If your grandmother's estate was probated, there was a personal representative or an executor appointed to administer the estate. That person would have the authority to request your grandmother's medical records from all medical providers. This would simply be a matter of filling out a medical release form and signing it as personal representative of the estate. There's probably a photocopying fee for obtaining this information -- around $20.00 or so. A death certificate would give you minimal information, and can take some time to receive, depending on what state you're in. Arizona can take up to eight weeks! I hope this helps. Your friend, Kathy in Boise

please help!!!! I just had a grandmother die of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lungs. There are nine of us left behind to grieve and it is worse that we are so unsure of the cause of death nothing was explained to us. If anyone has any information please send it or let us know where info can be found. Thanks a lot. << File: ATT00038.html >>
