I have permission to do temple work for a relative before he died

LauriAllredNatividad

My mother's cousin gave me permission to do his temple work when he died. He died in January at 99 years old. How can I request this when the permission form does not give me a way for this situation?

Here is information from a Help Center knowledge article regarding your situation:

"If you are not the spouse or a child, parent, or sibling of the deceased, obtain permission from one of the close living relatives.

• The close living relatives are an undivorced spouse, an adult child, a parent, a brother, or a sister.

• Permission granted by a deceased person before death does not qualify. Permission must come from a close living relative."

We are attaching a link to this article, as it contains more information that may help you.
