Everything you need to get organized
Do your loved ones know where to find your insurance policies, passwords, title to your car, real estate deeds, health care directive, or even your will?

Unfortunately, this disorganization will cause hassles for those who someday take care of you or your estate.
Get It Together is a guide and resource to help you gather your records and prepare important documents. With it, you create an organizer for you and a road map for your survivors. It provides a complete framework to help you and others keep track of:
secured places and passwords
employment and business records
bank, brokerage, and retirement accounts
personal property and real estate records
dependent children, pets, and livestock
insurance policies
tax records
estate planning documents
funeral arrangements
letters to loved ones
The workbook is comprehensive, yet straightforward.
