Are you prepared for an emergency or death?

In the case of an emergency or unexpected death, are you prepared for your loved ones to deal with your affairs without having to rummage through desk drawers to locate information? No family member should be forced to deal with both their grief and unorganized financial affairs at the same time. Having an organized plan when an emergency strikes eases the burden for grieving family members and enables them to handle your affairs the way you intended.

Storing essential information in one location can prove extremely beneficial. A family binder can be used to organize and keep track of information, accounts, wishes, notes, etc. Anything you may want people to know in the event of an emergency or death can be kept in here. Items to consider including in the binder are: a copy of your photo ID, power of attorney (POA), copy of your will and estate information, bank and financial statements, passwords, insurance details, special instructions or posthumous wishes. Being able to easily access your basic medical information is so important for your family and caregivers.

To help our clients in building this essential binder, we are offering special “Family Binder” workshops led by Dani Hussung, Financial Assistant. During these workshops, we provide buildable binders that will:

    • Include important information or directions to storage locations where this information may be kept
    • Allow terminal patients to express their wishes or leave notes behind for loved ones
    • Guide spouses or significant others in obtaining information on POAs, wills, trusts, bank accounts, etc. in the event of an emergency or death
