There is something in the options you can change. It asks you if they are living or dead based on what age you have in this option. You can pump the age up to something like 999 and then it won't ask you anymore.

And I still think it is the best of the best. And I've been using genealogy software since Roots II and CP/M in the mid 1980s. But. Here is what is happening with Legacy. 1. Henry Kirk is born in 1917 and I enter him into Legacy. 2. When I save, I'm asked whether he is Living or Dead. There is no "?" as there is for sex. I enter "Yes". 3. I don't know if he is alive or dead as I just found him on the internet as the son of ... long dead in Denmark. 4. Later I find his confirmation record and I enter that data. 5. Again I'm asked whether he is Living or Dead even thou I have already listed him as living. 6. Later I find Henry has married and when I save his data, again I'm asked whether he is Living or Dead. 7. Every time I open and save Henry's file, I'm asked again, nag, nag, nag, and I don't really know if he is dead or alive. Can I turn this nagger off? On the 6th I asked here "Living or Dead", which to use and decided to give the person life. But this has become a nuisance. I've now changed Henry to Dead and the nuisance has gone away. And from now on I'll pronounce all are dead when asked, unless I know otherwise or have turned the nagger off.
