Vital Records

Is the glass half empty or half full? By merely refusing to utter the words “disaster orglass half empty full terrorism” is it realistic to expect no calamity will come our way? Or is it more appropriate to embrace that life happens, and as a result of the world we live in today – we have to accept that unexpected, and at times, unwanted, events occur.

In light of our pursuit of life, liberty and peace of mind, let’s talk about your family – immediate or extended – makes no different to us. If you were out of town on business, is your family fully prepared to take care of each other and any details until you return?

Do you have all of your vital records (contact information, credit card numbers, insurance policies, wills, etc.) in one central location? Ideally this information should be in a fireproof safe. At the very least, keep it in a tight, waterproof zip-lock baggie or container. Also ensure this information is given to an out of town relative or close friend.

That should be enough to get you started - First things first. Work on getting your paperwork in order. “Someday/one-day” is here; it’s TODAY. Do it now!
