    Hmm [^o)] spouse marked deceased

    I've marked a SPOUSE deceased on a joint account, isn't this suppose to create a new account for the deceased?  We just completed an upgrade and I could have sworn this was the process prior to the upgrade.  Could be I'm having a memory lapse this morning

    There are lots of options under Business Rules/Deceased Options but creating a new account for a deceased spouse is not one of them.  I'm not sure why you would want to do that?  I always create a new account for the surviving spouse but never the reverse.  I'm interested to hear if anyone does, and why.  Best,

    I do not see any reason to create a record for the deceased spouse unless they are expected to receive tribute gifts and you have the tribute module.  Business rules only apply if you mark a constituent as deceased and their spouse is still surviving.  Not the reverse.
