Traps it covers

same_name Father and son are both Walter Eugene Pruitt; only "Jr." and the birth dates differ, and both passports read Walter Pruitt. The estate papers name one as the deceased and the other as informant and executor. The contact for the father is called "Dad" and says only that he died on 11/9/2022. Lorraine sometimes calls Walt "Walter". "My" always means the son.

near_duplicate The same death certificate saved twice: first the pale photocopy the funeral home gave him, then a scan of a certified copy. The scan is the one to read.
