We have a sister in our ward who's spouse was not a member. He passed away a couple years ago and she asked to have his name taken off her record. His name shows up under the "household" tab on her record. When I go into the online LCR and hit "edit" I can change their marriage date or location, but I can't remove him. So, two questions:
1) What is the protocol for dealing with deaths of non-member spouses? Simply delete them?
2) I suppose I'll have to do the deletion in MLS on the clerk's office computer – doesn't seem available in online LCR?
Thanks...

Re: death of non-member spouse
You need to terminate the marriage - reason, death.
I'm not sure if you can do that in LCR or not.

OK, thanks. Looks like I'll have to do that in MLS.

Re: death of non-member spouse
Record the death using MLS. Go to the member record and choose the option to terminate the marriage. It should be fairly straightforward from there.travisjensen55 wrote:1) What is the protocol for dealing with deaths of non-member spouses? Simply delete them?
