Should Be AGroupEffort

Keeping records shouldbe a family affair, ratherthan the responsibility of justone member of thehousehold. This is especiallyhelpful to military familieswho move several timesduring the Servicemember'scareer and may beseparated from the head ofthe household in the eventof unaccompanied tours ofduty.

It is important thateverybody concerned be inon the decisions that affectthe future of the family.Each person needs to know:

. What emergencynumbers to call if the needarises.

. Who the legal andfinancial advisers are, andhow to reach them bytelephone.

o Where liJe, health,automobile, and other in-surance policies are located.

. Where a copy of eachindividual will is located.

o What documents are inthe safe deposit box.

r Where other recordsare kept, including thehousehold inventorY,cancelled checks and in'come tax informatton.

ln the finalanalysis, afamily can function bestwithin a f ramework that ismeaningful to all its mem-bers. The family thatdevelops a satis{actorysystem for keeping records islikely to do a more realtsticjob of planning for the future.

A f ree pamphlet, "KeepingReco rds-What To Discard, "provides information to helpfamilies think through theirrecord system requi rements,including suggestions onwhere records should be keptand a form for developing anet worth statement.
