Hi!
Is there a way to convert a Household record into an Estate record? In searching the Help System, it looks like you can change an individual to an organization type, but I can't find anything about changing a Household to an organization type (we have classified Estates as organizations).
Thanks

AppSupport has to write a program to do that if wanted.

Leslie,
Thanks for replying to my other post about Solicitations view. Regarding the Estate issue, did you find a way to move the Planned Giving table over to the Estate record?
Thanks,Chandra

And it is for this reason when we went to v.11 we stopped converting our records to Estates. We now just create an Estate and affiliate with A1 or A2 as needed and the donor’s record stays intact. The only thing our Planned Giving folks have decided is they want a way to move the Planned Giving table to the Estate.

Hmm .. for what ever reason my reply from this morning at 9am still hasn't gone through! What I had said was:
Jess,
We've found converting records into estates to be a multi-step complicated process because you cannot simply convert a household to estate. There are different steps also depending on if both individuals are deceased or not. Because of inherited primary addresses and rules in the household operations when converting you'll have to edit the addresses on the individual records which adds an additional wrinkle to the process.
Example: Household had A1 (alive) and A2 - deceased. A1 has now died and (Estate) Household gave large bequest.
1) Add Estate Address and mark as Primary on the Household Account.2) Activate A2 - (deceased account)3) Add (Home) Primary Address in A1 and A2 individual accounts4) Inactivate (Home) Household Primary Address5) Convert Household to Individual, Remove Affiliations of A1 and A2
6) Convert Individual (formerly Household) account now to Estate Account
7) Add Affiliations of A1, A2, (adult member) and add a Primary Contact (Lawyer, etc.)8) Update General tab of now Estate Record (formerly individual, formerly household) with Contact Details (phone, email, mailing) with Primary Contact (Lawyer) information9) Inactivate A1 and A2 individual accounts and mark as deceased.
Voila! 9 steps later you have done it! Hope that helped, let me know if you have questions!
-Marta
