We keep our personal information in various places. The question is: Can anyone other than yourself locate your documents, insurance policies, investments and banking information if you are unable to provide them? The bigger question is: Can you locate them?
Organizing important and vital information in essential. In the event you or you and your spouse are simultaneously incapacitated, where are you medical directives and financial information located? Who is your doctor(s)? Who knows your medical history? Who will know what to advise the doctor(s) regarding your wishes? Who will pay your recurring bills, e.g. health, life, disability insurance, utilities, credit cards, etc.? How will they access your funds? Who will know your passwords?
In the event of your demise or the simultaneous demise of you and your spouse, does anyone knows where your estate instructions and documents are? Where your Will is? Who your attorney is? How you want your personal property distributed? Where the key to the safe deposit box is?
Along with data sheets, this book guides you through the process of compiling the information required to effectively care for you and honor your requests.
In order to help you, I have written a new book called You Can't Take it With You....So GET ORGANIZED!

Carole,
As we discussed, I learned a lot planning my Dad's funeral and it would have been so nice if my parents had used your book. When I was writing his obituary, it would have been helpful to be able to reference his service dates and medals etc.
Another point I wanted to share with your readers. I learned a lot about the funeral home industry, specifically family operated vs. corporate. I learned that any funeral home with the word Dignity or SCI logo is owned by Service Corporation International. Even Geo. H. Lewis here in Houston is. They use a central processing plant for body preparation and charge much more that family owned funeral homes.
I also learned the family has a right to purchase a casket from anyone they want, not just the funeral home they are using. You may also change funeral homes at any time.
