<human>: My cousin is asking for an original copy of my mothers death certificate so he can get his father's (my uncle and my moms brother) retirement fund or whatever. My uncle had listed my mom as a beneficiary but she passed away and he had actually asked if it was OK to list me as the new beneficiary before he passed away; I agreed and I gave him all the info needed but I'm not sure if it ever was made official. My question is basically is there anything potentially fishy that I need to be wary of before giving my cousin a copy of my mother's death certificate?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
