Do you know where your important family documents are, such as social security cards, birth certificates, or marriage licenses? Is your will up to date and do you know where it is located? Are you aware of how to access all of your family’s bank accounts? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Managing a family and all the essential family information can be overwhelming. I understand this well, as I often see dining room tables piled high with paperwork in nearly every home that I visit. So what should a disorganized family do? It is one thing to organize all the paperwork, but it’s another thing entirely to have access to the documents when you need them the most and to have them readily accessible to everyone in the family.
