How does DocuSign work if one spouse is deceased?

If one spouse is deceased, does DocuSign recognize the fact that there is no PIN number on the form 8879 for the deceased spouse and, thus, it does not send a packet to that spouse. Does it send two packets out, one to each spouse, but only the living spouse has to complete the packet. Has anyone had this situation?

No one knew the first time. Asking again won't help.

You could have typed "bump" as an answer and it would move it up in the order of appearance.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
