Several years ago, my good friend lost her father-in-law after he suffered for years from a prolonged illness. After the funeral, the truly stressful part of the loss began—trying to locate all the important papers he left behind.
She affectionately called her father-in-law an “organized hoarder.” Everything had a place, but he kept absolutely everything, even the registration for his 1928 Indian motorcycle, that he bought when he was just 19 years old!
So finding all of the necessary important papers was so much more difficult because she had to go through bags, stacks, drawers, and cabinets full of paperwork. The deeds to the house and cars, bank account information, credit card information, life insurance, pension and social security—it was all in there, but buried along with everything else.
It seemed as though they were digging through papers for weeks trying to find what they needed and they could get it all straightened out. What did they need? What should they keep? What could they throw away?
After listening to her experience, I was determined not to do the same to my loved ones. For sure, it can be difficult—even confusing—when you try to think about what your family or friends will need to know if or when you die.
As all of you Nesters know, I feel it’s important to be organized and prepared for just these kinds of scenarios, within reason of course. But how do I know what information my family needs me to file away before I start pushing up the daisies? Or just in case of an emergency? And then where am I supposed to keep it?
