A GON Reader Asks

Hi Maria,

Thanks for all the tips and information I've learned from you over the years. Do you have any organizational information/tools for someone with cancer who (just in case) wants to leave organized info for family such as bills, insurance policies, investments all in one place?

Hi Maureen,

I'm trying to figure out, by your note, if you are having these health struggles or if one of your loved ones is. Either way, I am so sorry to hear about these challenges and I'm sending thoughts and prayers. Thinking about making things easier for others by getting important documents organized is such a kindness in my mind. When someone is going through an illness, their loved ones can be deeply affected as well.

My best suggestion would be to corral all of these important documents in one place. A portable letter file box is an easy, inexpensive way to go. By having one of these, all important papers can be filed in one central location.

Think of any and all documents that a family member may be looking for at some point in the future. If these documents are currently being stored in a safe or safety deposit box, that is fine. Keep them there. But I suggest making copies of all of these things and then store them in the letter box as well. This will make it so much easier for family, as they will not be forced to search through numerous locations to try to find paperwork they may be needing.

Being up-to-date on benefactors on any applicable policies is important as well, to help avoid problems later on. Once everything is corralled, the file box should be stored in a safe place, ensuring the person (or people) who will be in charge of things knows where it is should the need arise to access it. They should also know how to access your passwords in case of an emergency.

As any other relevant paperwork comes in, it can then be easily added to the file box without giving it much thought. This will provide reassurance that everything is in order.

Sending my warmest thoughts,

--Maria
