With intent to defraud is an obvious answer. Perhaps how you do it mitigates other criminal acts. If you are using a corpse, God forbid, yes. If your intent is to get a death certificate yes, that’s a false instrument. But if you just went missing and someone petitioned the court for a declaration of death (usually missing 7 years) no. Fact is these days it’s pretty hard to hide.

No, faking your own death in and of itself is not illegal. HOWEVER, the reason for faking your death MAY BE. For instance:

To collect on life insurance IS illegal...

To escape prosecution IS illegal...

To fool a "friend" or two, is NOT...

Pretty much, the way to measure is simply "Is there money or federal/local law enforcement or other agency involved?" Then yes it is...

Further more, some of the actions you may have to undergo following your fake death stunt maybe. Illegally procuring a social security will land you in jail... Not paying taxes, in jail... Etc. Etc. Etc.

Okay, I believe SOL doesn't start until last activity. In debt cases that would be the last day your account is active. If you are talking about Tupac Shakur, it's been said that the SOL will be hit in 2014 making it impossible for him to be prosecuted for faking his death, which is illegal by the way.
