This is the one workbook every family needs to organize all the critically important information that we usually relegate to a drawer, box, or online file somewhere—information about family history, life events, financial assets, estate plans, benefit entitlements, health care, and end-of-life wishes. It will help you now, and it will help your loved ones avoid the agonizing time, effort, and expense of finding that important document, account number, photograph, or historical gem.
