In this situation, the three-year time frame would not start until someone reasonably concluded that the death was wrongful.
It is a legal document that certifies that court documents were properly served to an opposing party to a case.
There are four main types of discovery requests: (1) depositions; (2) interrogatories; (3) requests for admissions; and (4) requests for the production of documents.
No certificate of service is required when a paper is served by filing it with the court's electronic-filing system. When a paper is served by other means, a certificate of service must be filed with it or within a reasonable time after service or filing.

This means it must include a statement under the penalty of perjury that your response is true and correct. (CCP § 2031.250). Failure to include this verification has the same effect as not responding at all.
For a certificate of service for discovery papers, such as written discovery requests and responses, see Form – Certificate of Service (Discovery).

Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiff's case as a defendant. You use discovery to find out things like: What the other side plans to say about an issue in your case. What facts or witnesses support their side.
