Assuming this is real: Some people are incorrectly declared dead and it becomes a gigantic bureacratic hassle to deal with. I could see those poor bastards needing to get a copy of the certificate for themselves to try to clear it up.

Because in this Boring Dystopia, "computer says dead" is going to make it impossible to do almost anything. However, for some brave adventureres, I suppose it could be a brand new start.

You've been declared legally dead. Your bank has cancelled your credit card. You go to the bank to get your credit card fixed, and the teller says there's nothing they can do because you're dead.

Do you say:
A) BRAAAAIIIINS
B) I got better
C) Apparently I'm the second coming of Jesus Christ

Ok, so bad advice time.

Or you just stop paying taxes and other stuff like that, and the government will fix this issue for you real quick.

Same with trying to collect life insurance.

Knew someone whose dead son had identity stolen. They found out when the wife went to collect death benefits.

PROVE YOU CRIED THOSE TEARS

Pretty sure someone just typed in “Myself “ where the name is supposed to be. And the “Someone else” box is a selection list for relation to the person like Spouse/Child

Probably. With the text centered it's a little ambiguous. Could be a button or a textbox.
