Maintaining a complete financial inventory for your
survivors will help ensure those assets will be distributed
correctly. This inventory could also prove vital for your spouse
or other family members if you are incapacitated due to injury or illness.
Properly storing your financial inventory, will and life insurance policies is crucial.
These documents need to be accessible upon your death.
For supporting documentation, store a list of
your insurance policies and policy numbers in the safe deposit
box, and consider giving a copy of the will to your attorney
and/or filling it with your county’s probate court should the
original become lost or destroyed.
Use the Master List Work Sheets to compile a master list indicating where those
important documents are located. This list outlines information you or someone
acting on your behalf might need in an emergency.
