Examples
Here are a few examples of information the book prompts for that your family might really need to know in a crisis:
- Where is the safe/safe deposit box/storage unit? What’s in there and how can it be accessed?
- Should you be cremated? (this assumes you are dead, otherwise cremation can be quite uncomfortable)
- What is your blood type?
- What is your passport number?
- How can the alarm system or water supply be shut-off in your home?
- Where are your financial assets (firms, account numbers, contacts, etc)?
- Do you have any allergies?
- Are there any old life insurance policies or retirement plans from the military or jobs you left long ago?
- Who should get your <insert cherished item here> when you die? (Or would you prefer your family fight it out at your funeral?)
And on and on. The book organizes these and hundreds of other important & useful pieces of information.
