The 10 Documents Your Family Needs If Something Happens Tonight

A plainspoken family checklist for gathering the documents your loved ones may need when something happens. Work through it at your own pace — one page in place today is a real start.

  1. Last will and testament
  2. Life insurance policies
  3. Bank and brokerage account list
  4. Mortgage statements and property deeds
  5. Durable power of attorney
  6. Healthcare directive / living will
  7. Beneficiary designations on retirement accounts
  8. An inventory of digital assets and where logins are kept
  9. Funeral and burial wishes
  10. A key-contacts list

You do not have to finish everything today. Put one useful page in place, then build from there when you are ready. And when you are ready to keep these documents — and everything around them — organized in one place your family can find, that is exactly what the Family Command Center was built for.
