Usually, in an emergency when people cannot speak for themselves you will need certified documents and important documents your designated person may need to access on your behalf. We strongly encourage you to have a Power of Attorney (POA) for healthcare and finance and keep a copy of this in the kit and be sure your POA has an original copy. The law has changed and does require certain institutions (such as banks) to only honor an original POA document and will not grant access to bank accounts or records if an original POA is not presented to the institution by the POA. Someone will need a key to access your home, this can be your POA, if not your POA be sure the POA knows who has a key to your home. For communal settings usually the manager will have a key to access your apartment.
Here is an abbreviated list of the most important items to keep in the kit; checks to pay your bills (remember a POA will be needed for this if only your name is on the account, how to access other funds in the event money is need for your care, emergency repairs to home (such as a water pipe leak,) insurance information (health care supplement, disability insurance, auto and home insurance,) important keys with identification on them, if you have a pet-instructions for your pet’s care. As we all know, tomorrow is never promised to anyone. This kit is an all-in-one resource for your next of kin or executor of your will.
