    Death is something that comes for every person, and is the end of the civil personality of the person for death terminates the same. Death, however, is the end only for the person who had died, for while it is true that when a person dies, his or her civil personality is terminated, yet some aspect of that personality would have to be retained in order to settle the estate of the deceased. This is the reason why death records like Alameda County Death Records are some of the most requested for records from the government, for as the official records of the government, these record are afforded the presumption of regularity which makes them the best evidence to prove the fact of the death of the person named in the record.One of the places where the fact of the death of the decedent must be proven would be the probate court, for death is not something that courts could take judicial notice of. This means that the fact of the death must first be proven and these records are the best way to do so. The probate court is necessary in order to settle the estate of the deceased as it must be remembered that without the estate being settled first, there could be no succession. The probate court works to iron out the details of the succession and to make sure that third persons who may have claims against the estate of the deceased are sufficiently protected.As the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the death of the person named in the record, these records are given the presumption of regularity such that the contents of the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. The party presenting the copies of the records would be under no obligation to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but note that the presumption applies only if the records were obtained from the proper sources, which is why the party presenting the records would still have to present evidence that the record were obtained from the proper sources.A request for copies of the records in question could be done from a number of offices at the local or county level and the procedure that one must follow in order to make the request would depend on the office where the request would be made. In general, a request at the local level is done either through the mail or in person, with both methods having their own associated set of advantages and disadvantages that would have to be taken into consideration by the person making the request.It is also possible to make the request for Alameda County Vital Records online through the use of online databases, and while these databases are unable to enjoy the presumption of regularity because they are mostly privately owned, the information that they could present would practically be copies of information that one could obtain from the official sources.
