Death certificates must be certified or sworn to by the state or local registrar, with a legible seal or stamp, as a true and correct copy taken from the official records. For Series EE, Series HH, or Series I bonds, proof of death of a beneficiary is not necessary.

27 lip 2017 · How to Redeem US EE Bonds When Both Owners Are Deceased. When two people co-own a Series EE savings bond, and one of them pases away, ownership passes to the surviving owner. If both owners have passed away, ownership passes to the estate of the co-owner who lived the longest.
If the EE bonds are worth more than $100,000 on the day the last owner died, you must open an estate to redeem them. You can open a small estate if the bonds are the only assets. To redeem paper bonds, all the beneficiaries must sign Form PD F 1455 after you complete it.
