Practice area → case type mapping
Estate Planning, Probate, Trust Administration, and other MyCase practice areas map to ObituaryMonitor case types. Compliance and court-ready logs stay aligned with how you categorize cases.
Export back into MyCase format
Death audit logs export with Lead Attorney, Case Number, and Private Notes fields ready for MyCase. Re-import or attach to the case without re-entering data.

Can I import existing MyCase contacts?
Yes. You can either use our direct OAuth connection to select contacts, or export a CSV from MyCase and upload it. Our Format Auto-Detection engine will recognize the MyCase format automatically.
How do death audit logs sync back to MyCase?
When a death is detected, you can export the audit log in MyCase-compatible format. The CSV includes Case Number, Lead Attorney, and Private Notes fields that map directly to MyCase imports.
What MyCase plans are compatible?
ObituaryMonitor works with all MyCase plans. The OAuth integration requires MyCase API access, which is available on most plans. CSV import/export works with all plans.
How do you detect a MyCase export?

Can I filter by practice area when importing from MyCase?
Yes. When you import via OAuth or CSV, you can restrict to specific practice areas (e.g. Probate, Estate Planning). Only those cases are added as watches so you focus on death-audit-relevant work.
