A SMALL HOUSEHOLD ADMIN CHECK
“It’s somewhere”
is not a location.
Check the path to important information before you need it. This worksheet asks what is known—not for the contents of your private records.
Status-only checklist. No names, account numbers, medical details or file uploads.
Access it.
Check it.
Three different questions.
One clearer next step.
Check one category at a time
Tick only what you have actually checked. Leave a box empty if you are unsure. Skip a category by selecting “Not applicable”; this is not an emergency-readiness score.
Household contacts
Insurance records
Home documents
Care instructions
Family records locator — next actions
Status-only household checklist. It contains no names, account numbers, document contents or uploaded files.
Print only after reviewing the result. This records your choices; it does not verify documents, establish access rights or assess emergency readiness.
MAKE THE RESULT USEFUL
A locator is useful only if someone can use it.
- Location: identify where the current copy is kept. Avoid scattering duplicates without dates.
- Permission: ask the record owner who may see it. Knowing a password is not the same as having permission.
- Currency: check the date or version. Choose a review habit that suits the household.
This narrow checklist does not tell you which records you must keep, establish legal access or certify that a plan is complete. Keep sensitive details in a place you trust.
THE NEXT STEP
Keep the real plan somewhere designed for it.
