They may simply refuse to cash the bond or they may have an alternative procedure. I suggest you <a href="http://www.savings-bond-advisor.com/ask-tom-a-question/" rel="nofollow">email the Treasury</a> and ask. Things will move faster if you go into detail with them about why there is no way to obtain a death certificate.

If your father died first or if there was probate court involvement it's much more complicated. You can either get a copy of my book, which has the details, or use the Ask the Treasury link on this page to begin the process.

They are in his name and his brother's name, both are deceased, how do I cash them in? I do have their death certificates. My Uncle had no children and there is only my brother and I.

The bonds were in my fathers trust. Is this possible? How could she have the bonds re-issued or cashed?
