One of our donors passed away and left some money for us in his will. I received half of the payment - should I attach it to his record even though he and his wife are dead and technically inactive? Or should I create a new constituent record associated with the lawyer's office? I'm also not sure if I should create a pledge or just wait for the 2nd payment since we're unsure of the total amount.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Sarah
Success! Thank you for your continued feedback – my system admin was able to change it but in regards to setting it up, she was given many options for N1 & N2. We chose N1 as organization and N2 as individual – is that how you have your estate constituent type set up? I typed in N1 “Estate of xx, c/o xx (attorney name)” and in N2 I added the attorney’s name and updated the address to their office. Would the N1 & N2 names still be considered deceased or since I changed the deceased’s record to the estate, I can keep it active and un-mark the deceased status? Is there anything else I should know in regards to set-up for an estate type?
Thanks so much!
Sarah

Amanda’s right – you may not have access to that table but your administrator will – or should!

Hi Julie,
I am not seeing TR_CUST_TYPE under the systems tables section. I can only see TR_CUST_NOTES_TYPE. Perhaps my credentials are not allowing me to view that particular one? So that’s why I’m stumped as to what to do. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Sarah, you can create new constituent types in the TR_CUST_TYPE table. That would solve your problem.

Thanks everyone for the insight. I can't seem to change the constituent type (and neither can our system administrator) to estate of so I'm thinking of creating a separate record of the attorneys office, coding the gift to them, setting up the association between the two and then soft crediting it as a bequest to the deceased individual's inactive record. This way it will still appear on individual giving reports as we don't have a planned giving program set up in Tessitura. Any thoughts?
Thanks again,Sarah
