I am trying to get permission to do the work for my Sister and Brother-in-Law.
I am trying to get permission to do the work for my sister Sharon Ann Lee (L5NY-5M7) and her husband Robert Doyle White (L17C-HWP). They have both been deceased for over a year and permission has been given by their daughter. I have filled out the form and it came back denied listing the reason be cause the permission grantor was deceased. My niece is alive, kicking and has given her permission verbally over the phone as she lives in Texas and I now live in Michigan. How do I get this fixed? 🙂

Hello @glendalee
We see in Family Tree that there is a record for a daughter Laurel indicating that she is deceased.
If Laurel is not deceased, go to the Laurel's record GSB9-GSV and click on the Edit next to the Death. Then click on the circle next to Living.
Since you are the only contributor to Laurel's record this should work. If the system doesn't allow you to change the death to living, then a form will come up for you to complete.
Once Laurel has been made living, then reply to the email you received from FamilySearch about declining your request to do your brother-in=law's Temple work, and explain that you accidently made Laurel deceased and say that Laurel is still living.
This article has further details about changing deceased to living
All the best.

As we understand you desire to perform temple ordinances for your sister, Sharon Ann Lee, ID# L5NY-5M7. You should be able to reserve her ordinances using FamilySearch because you are a sibling to her.
To perform ordinances for Robert Doyle White, ID# L17C-HWP, you will need permission from the daughter, which you have received. The daughter will need to show as a living child in your family tree. Please add her vital information and the relationship to her parents. If you have done this already, that is all you need to do here.
Since you have received an email which denied your request, please respond back to it. Provide the name and the ID# of the living daughter who gave you permission to perform her father's ordinances.
If you are unable to do the above, please follow the link below for instructions on how to request ordinances for an ancestor who was born in the last 110 years.
You may also want to obtain a written permission from the daughter and have her write it out, scan it into a computer and attach the permission to an email and send it to you, then you attach the email to your permission request or your response to the denial email.
We wish you the best. FamilySearch
