| CRITICAL INFORMATION INVENTORY QUESTIONS & ANSWERS What do you do? Stessa Services, LLC, provides guidance and suggests methods to organize and create a Critical Information Inventory for use by family members, business associates, caregivers, legal and financial advisors, and executors. We all know that we need this inventory, but we typically procrastinate creating it, or attempt to do so in a crisis or when it is too late. The PERSONAL Critical Information Inventory contains Biographical (includes medical) & Key Contact Information, Assets & Liabilities, Retirement Plans, Insurance Policies, Estate & Healthcare Documents, Funeral instructions, and other crucial information. The BUSINESS Critical Information Inventory contains Business Organization & Key Contact Information, Assets & Liabilities, Employee Programs, Insurance Policies, Sales, Marketing, and Operations Programs, Business Disposition thoughts and other crucial information. I/we are in good health, why do we need to do this? We all know of situations where a friend, family member, or business associate, has suddenly become incapacitated (or worse) due to a sudden illness or accident, and know that we are not immune to such eventualities. Some of us have also unexpectedly been thrust into the role of looking after the affairs of a family member, friend, or business associate, and had to frantically figure out/search for the affairs they handled. Furthermore, it is not unusual in a husband and wife situation for one spouse to handle financial affairs and the other to handle home, car, maintenance, etc., issues, thus leaving the other spouse in an awful state. Creating a Critical Information Inventory will position you and others to deal with such situations and you will “sleep better at night” by having done so. How long will it take to prepare my Critical Information Inventory? There is no one answer to this question. Some personal and business affairs are limited in scope and others are far more complex. Furthermore, some will want to include information in very great detail and others will want to use a more “broad brush” approach. Don’t wait any longer to attend to this important matter! You, your loved ones, your business associates, will be glad you did. Sincerely, Malvin J.
