How do I print an ordinance card for someone who is not related to me but considered me her daughter, has since passed away and has no living relatives?

    Okay, so according to what you say, you're not related to her and she does not have a living parent, spouse, child or sibling for you to get permission from. Given those facts and the policies stated in the knowledge article, you will not be able to reserve those ordinances.

    The only thing I can suggest is that you try and locate someone else who is related to her, even distantly. Have ward members check from "View my relationship." There is a process whereby a "related" person can request the ordinances if all "close relatives" are deceased. That process does not exist for Non-relatives.

    I read the information on the link you sent. This person has no living relatives, therefore, I cannot get permission. She is like a second mother to my sister and me. She left us EVERYTHING she owned. Can I just select that I am related to her when prompted to during the ordinance process?

    Did you live with her in a step-child/step-mother relationship or in a foster care or guardianship situation?

    She's dead. We only visited her and helped clean out her 16,000 sq. ft. home and are finishing the process of settling her estate. We are the only "family" she has. She had one sibling, who is dead, her parents are dead and her aunts and uncles are dead. She has no children and considered my sister and myself "her girls". She died in May 2021.
