When my Grandmother passed away,
my Mother and I spent a week going through her house finding bills,
credit cards, insurance policies and you wouldn't believe what all else
scattered everywhere throughout her house. Every time we opened another
drawer we found another manila envelope (with no writing on the
outside) with more papers in it. And no organization whatsoever. We
were trying to plan a funeral in the middle of trying to cancel credit
cards that, come to find out, she didn't have anymore. We were calling
about insurance policies that had lapsed years ago and had to go
digging looking for current ones. We even found policies on my
Grandfather who had passed away 15 years earlier! Now why did she keep
those?
So, I originally put this book
together for my Mom to fill out telling me what insurance polices she
has, who with, and how to contact them. Who insures her car, who she
makes her house payment to, where she wants to be buried, where her
will is and about a zillion other things. If she gets sick, in a
serious accident, has to be put in nursing home, or even dies suddenly,
this book will save me and anyone else who has one, a ton of time,
which can be better spent with family.
Since
she lives several states away from me (and from were we all grew up), I
have no idea who her friends are, and who she would like to have
contacted if she goes into the hospital. So I put several pages of
contact forms in the book. I also included a spot for her church and
her job. If she was hospitalized for a long period of time, I would
probably need to keep her house up, so I put in a page for her
household utilities with phone numbers and account numbers so I could
call and make whatever arrangements were needed.
