When End-Of-Life Planning Includes End-Of-Life Storage
Where Can My Elderly Mother Store Her End-Of-Life Belongings and Planning Documents?
Q. My mother is 89 years old and wants to make sure all her belongings and essential documents are safely stored and will be easily accessible to her children when she passes.
These include legal documents and precious items such as photographs, diaries, and creative writings. Are there services that handle the safe storage of these kinds of documents?
A. Yes. Several End-of-Life planning and document storage websites may serve your family’s needs.
End-of-Life Planning is an essential conversation for elders with their children or caregiver. Failing to engage in these discussions can become chaos for the surviving family as they search for essential end-of-life documents to resolve inheritance issues and ensure the deceased’s wishes are honored in an organized and respectful way.
