Can a nephew do the sealing to parents work of his Aunt's deceased husband?
This aunt has given my husband permission to seal her deceased husbband to his parents. Her husband is not yet 110 yrs old.

I would contact the temple with this question to be sure, or you could also call 1-866-406-1830. Or go under the "Contact Us" under the Help section on FamilySearch.org and Chat. I would like to know what you find out.

Under the new program used by FamilySearch to allow patrons to submit people for temple work who have been born in the last 110 years, the person making the request must show a relationship in Tree. When they make the request the system will use the View My Relationship program and if No Relationship comes up, the request will be denied. In conjunction with this, a new Knowledge Article was published in the Help Center that says FamilySearch will no longer make exceptions to this policy even if the requesting person has written permission.

Temple ordinances are sacred and should be treated with respect. Please reserve ordinances for individuals only if you are related to them.
A letter from the First Presidency dated February 29, 2012, states, "Our preeminent obligation is to seek out and identify our own ancestors. Those whose names are submitted for proxy temple ordinances should be related to the submitter."
You are responsible to submit names of the individuals below:
- Immediate family members (spouse, children, siblings, and parents).
- Direct-line ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on, and their families).
You can also submit the names of the individuals below:
- Biological, adoptive, and foster family lines connected to your family.
- Collateral family lines (uncles, aunts, cousins, and their families).
- Descendants of your ancestors.
- Your own descendants.
- Possible ancestors, meaning individuals who have a probable family relationship that cannot be verified because the records are inadequate, such as those who have the same last name and resided in the same area as your known ancestors.

@ShellyR Leavitt1 - I may have misread the initial question. If your husband is the nephew he should have been able to reserve this ordinance - the system should be able to find a relationship of him to his aunt (and her deceased husband.) Was he able to do so?

The policy, Who am I related to?
Policy
You are related to blood relatives and their spouses. For example, you are related to your father’s sister (your aunt) and to her husband (your uncle). However, you are not related to her husband’s extended family (parents, siblings, and so on.) You are related to the children of your aunt and uncle (your cousins).

In order to find this policy, you need to go to Help Center and use search term ...for whom the article that come us is Individuals for whom I can do----- Scroll clear to bottom for the article Who am I related to .. To request ordinances for Aunts and Uncles, at this time, may require submitting a request to Family Search.

Yes, if you go through the Request Permission process.
Ron Tanner, Project Manager of FamilySearch, taught in 2019 BYU Education Week that FS wants us to close the loop of, or perform, the ordinances for spouses of our ancestors.
We may seal them to their parents, even if the parents’ other ordinances haven’t been performed yet. That child-to-parent sealing will become effective after the other ordinances are performed.
Good luck.

I tried to get permission before but was denied.
The more of these very helpful comments I read, I'm able to understand why.
First, because this uncle isn't over 110 then a lot of red flags go up.
Second, because my husband is related to his wife through blood and only him through marriage, I believe the uncle's blood descendants would be the ones authorized to do it.
My original hope was to help this Aunt reserve her husband's sealing to parents and print the card to give to my husband since she gave him permission.
This Aunt lives far away from us. We got permission when we visited her.
When I called to get her helper number she was too sick to communicate and isn't recovering.
After reviewing these very helpful comments, I feel I truly understand the big picture.
The one last thing I could is contacting her bishop.

Well, all I can say is he must not have been ready yet!
After I posted this I tried one more time and it went right through!
My husband was able to seal his uncle to his parents and the spirit was so sweet!
Thanks everyone who gave encouaging suggestions here on Communities!

@ShellyR Leavitt1 - I just found out that when you first posted this thread FS was having a problem with the relationship checker in 110 year cases. That is now fixed. That is probably why you had this issue. Sorry.
