[QUOTE="donna723, post: 196251, member: 1883"] Abbey, that's a wonderful idea! I've been thinking a lot about this same thing. A few years ago my kids' grandma died and they had a terrible time trying to find insurance policies, bank account info, etc. Apologizing for being morbid, my daughter called and asked me then if I would make out some kind of list with all this information on it and send it to her, just in case. It's a very good idea but I just never got around to it. Then last month her mother in law was accidentally killed in that horrible accident and now she and sister in law and his brother are going through the same thing. She had never really discussed her (considerable) financial affairs with either of the boys so they've had some real detective work to do. Poor woman was only 53 and in perfect health ... we just have no idea what can happen in the blink of an eye. You just never know. So I'm going to make out that list and keep it updated. Of course, I don't have a lot and most of it could be settled with one call to where I work. Life insurance through where I work, my tiny and ever-shrinking 401K, itty bitty bank account, one other seperate life insurance policy. I'll put it all on paper and send it to her. But I was thinking about the Board too. There's people on here that I have "known" for four years! People who I have swapped tales with and spilled my guts to many times for FOUR YEARS! If something should ever happen to me, some may not even notice, but some may think that I just "disappeared"! So I'll put that down too, with instructions to come on and post the sad news that a meteor fell on me or that I was unexpectedly abducted by the little silver aliens. Very good idea, Abbey! [/QUOTE]
