Session Name
In Case of Emergency, Break Glass! Understand and organize your important life documents, prepare for succession in business, and save your family time and money
Session Description
If something tragic happened to you, would your family and family know what to do? If you did not make it home tonight, would someone be able to step into your life and handle your finances, your bills, and maintain day-to-day operations?
Who would pick up the kids? Take Mom to the doctor? Feed the cat?
No one wants to plan for a time when they are not around, so we naturally procrastinate putting together the package of information that someone else will need when we become disabled or die. To get people to take action, This speaker realized that this had to be made into a process that is simple, fun, entertaining, and motivational. Created for her own family and friends, this program grew out of observing the financial, emotional, logistical, and legal problems after families experience an accident, illness, or other tragic event. Do you have your life documents organized? A will is a good place to start, and yet fewer than half of Americans have any kind of will, much less an updated one. Most people do not have a Letter of Instruction. People who need trusts often do not have them. Paperwork such as a wills, trusts, letters of instruction, insurance, and financial data need to be where those trusted to act on your behalf can find and utilize them.
