Critical Senior Records and Important Papers
By admin on Feb 6, 2009 in Social
Seniors should keep certain records and important papers to help them prepare for their later years.
It is critical that everyone over 50 get this information concerning the legal papers and medical papers they will need as they age.
We have found several very good sources online that can aid you for organizing those papers such as who will have the power of attorney for you and your estate, living wills, directive to physicians, or the right to refuse medical treatment.
An important tip is to keep your papers stored in a safe place such as a safety deposit box.

Another, more high tech, option to store these documents is by scanning them into a computer and saving them to a flash stick. If your parent or elderly loved one does not have a computer, use your home PC and keep a flash stick copy for yourself to back up your hard drive and their documents. Flash sticks are relatively inexpensive and can easily fit into the mentioned safety deposit box. I know that my deposit box is too small for large documents and this is how we keep track of all our important records.

Great idea.
Safety deposit boxes do tend to be small, and flash sticks are perfect.
Thanks for the tip.
