A great article in today’s AJC by financial planner Wes Moss about the importance of creating a place for all of your critical documents and passwords. A will or trust is of no value if no one ever finds it after your death. Your health care wishes may be ignored if the medical provider is not furnished a copy of your advance directive. In order to use it, someone has to be able to find it. Please do your loved ones a favor and spare them the stress of having to locate your essential information.

Business clients should also pay attention, if your critical passwords cannot be located, your business may suffer mightily in the event you are medically unable to attend to matters.
