If I could tell you one thing, it would be this –– don’t wait until an emergency or unexpected event strikes to begin looking for important documents. As an organizational consultant, some of the more common challenges I encounter are:

 

  1. Families scrambling to locate important documents, such as a birth or marriage certificate, a will or even a cemetery deed.

 

  1. Individuals, families and those important to them struggling needlessly, due to poor financial planning or inadequate advice.

 

  1. Older adults who live independently becoming so overwhelmed with routine daily tasks that they cannot make meaningful decisions concerning financial management and estate planning.

 

The following tips were taken from my booklet, No Time Like Now. A Guide To Organizing Your Life’s Traditional and Digital Information –– I encourage you to use these free tips to start getting your affairs in order.

Estate Planning Checklist

Use our Estate Planning Checklist to identify, gather, organize and safely store all of your important documents.

 

Spend a few minutes each day or so going over the list to locate the documents you have and the ones you still need.

 

If you are missing any of the important documents on the list, make an appointment to see an estate attorney and/or make arrangements to obtain copies of any missing vital documents, such as a birth, death, marriage or divorce certificates.

 

Go to vital documents and then select the state in which the event occurred to find out how to obtain the missing documents.

 

Once completed, you can rest assured that any important paperwork needed in the event of an emergency or death is right at your fingertips. After all, “never” happens all the time –– as State Farm’s tagline points out –– and isn’t that the truth?
