Valuable Documents at Your Fingertips
Whether you or your parent is in perfect health or is suffering from chronic illness, learning where valuable documents are located can help adult children determine their parent's needs and expectations. The knowledge gained can assist them in providing the best care for parents if the need arises.
AARP designed a form to help parents and adult children to work together to locate these documents before a crisis occurs. By having this conversation now, both of you will gain peace of mind that important information is available should you need it. The form gives space to include where documents are kept, important people to contact, insurance and medical information, and final wishes.
To protect yourself from identity theft, never email this type of personal information. For this reason, we recommend that you print this PDF form and complete it by hand.
