Exported PDFs Now Editable by Default

To more easily share fillable forms from Filevine, exported PDFs are now editable by default. To export a flattened PDF, select “Print” and save to your computer. Learn more about exporting PDFs in Filevine.

Date of Death

When creating and editing contacts, users can now mark a contact as deceased and enter their date of death.

• Contacts in Filevine now have a “Deceased” toggle that allows users to add a date of death. 
• If a contact has a stored date of death, they will have a “Deceased” indicator wherever they appear in the platform.
