In the unfortunate event a parent passes away and he/she was not on the child’s birth certificate, the government will require you provide proof of parentage, usually via a DNA test if their other requirements are not met. We have the most experience with providing this type of service to the Pacific Northwest. We work with county medical examiners to obtain DNA samples from the deceased individual and then coordinate an appointment at one of our offices for the child. You can trust we will handle your case with care and professionalism.

NOTE: In the event a sample no longer exists for the deceased parent, we can compare siblings, grandparents and even aunts and uncles to prove parentage. Give us a call to discuss your unique circumstance.

How it Works

• Whoever is listed as next of kin will need to sign an authorization form with the medical examiner’s office. We can assist with coordinating this

• We will send supplies and a check to the medical examiner’s office and they will then ship the sample to our laboratory where it will be aligned with the child’s sample for testing

• The child in question will need to come to our office to have his/her cheek swabbed

• We will ensure that chain of custody is maintained in order to generate legally binding, doctor-signed, notarized test results for you in the end
