Service Description

ObituaryMonitor™ is a supplementary due diligence tool designed to assist legal professionals, fiduciaries, and other users in monitoring publicly available obituary notices. Our service monitors 2,500+ digital sources to identify potential matches based on the information you provide.

No Guarantee of Coverage

While we strive to provide comprehensive monitoring coverage, we do not guarantee 100% coverage of all public notices, obituaries, or death records. Obituary publications vary by region, publication timing, and format. Some notices may not be available through our monitored sources, and there may be delays between publication and detection.

Informational Purposes Only

All matches, reports, certificates, and documentation provided by ObituaryMonitor are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, official death records, or certified government documents. Our reports and certificates are tools to assist in your due diligence process, not replacements for official verification.

Independent Verification Required

All matches and information must be independently verified by a qualified professional before taking any legal, financial, or administrative action. Users should confirm death information through official government records, vital statistics offices, or other authoritative sources before relying on ObituaryMonitor data for consequential decisions.

Limitation of Liability

Our liability is expressly limited to the subscription fees paid for the service. ObituaryMonitor, its owners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Missed or delayed detection of obituary notices
• False positives or incorrect matches
• Decisions made based on our reports or certificates
• Actions taken or not taken based on our service
• Technical failures, service interruptions, or data errors
• Third-party actions or publications

Professional Responsibility

Legal professionals, fiduciaries, and other regulated users remain solely responsible for meeting their professional obligations, including reasonable diligence requirements. Use of ObituaryMonitor does not transfer or reduce professional responsibility. Users should consult with appropriate advisors regarding their specific compliance requirements.

Negative Search Certificates

Negative Search Certificates indicate that no matches were found within our monitored sources during the specified monitoring period. They do not certify that an individual is alive, nor do they guarantee that no obituary was published. Certificate acceptance varies by jurisdiction and court, and users should verify suitability for their specific use case.

Changes to This Disclaimer

We reserve the right to modify this legal disclaimer at any time. Continued use of ObituaryMonitor after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
