If you were in an accident, became ill, or were for any reason unable to take care of your children, pets, household or small business matters, whether for a few days or much longer, would you have written instructions, documents, and organizational schedules available that would:

• designate who you would like to assume responsibility for your children and/or pets in an emergency, provide the legal authorization to enable them to assume their care as well as detailed care instructions

• designate who you would like to assume your household responsibilities and provide the information and instructions to enable them to give you the help you need

• not only authorize the designated person(s) to talk to your bank, credit card companies, your landlord or mortgage holder, and all other companies to whom to pay bills to either make them aware of your emergency situation and your current ability to make your payments OR you can even authorize one or more person to become a signatory on your bank account(s) and pay your bills for you under the conditions specified on your authorization

• list all of your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, bills, etc. along with their account number and a telephone contact number to enable the authorized person(s) to have access to all of the necessary information so that they can undertake those things that you have specified in the authorization

• tell designated person(s) the name of your doctor(s), accountant, attorney, work contact information, and other important people that may need to assist them in undertaking your directions

• provide the names and telephone numbers of all friends, family members, work associates, your church and other organizations that you would want to know about your emergency

• authorize and provide instructions to one or more person(s) to carry out specific duties in connection with your small business as is specified in a written authorization

• choose whether to complete each item on your computer, or just print it out and you can complete it by hand, in ink
  

• decide when each authorization becomes effective, how long it stays in effect and under what circumstances
  

• decide when each authorization becomes invalid, either by date, under certain circumstances, or whether it remains in effect until such time as you revoke an authorization with a revocation agreement provided by Living Smart
  

• choose which of the 85 authorizations, documents, instructions, or organizational schedules are most appropriate for your life
  

• easily change your authorizations, instructions, and information throughout the rest of your life with the Living Smart software 
  

• You can purchase the Living Smart CD and all 85 documents, authorizations, instructions, and organizational schedules for less than it would cost to pay an attorney to draft just one document for you

• You can use the Living Smart Software for years to come so that you can easily make changes to reflect the changes in your life  
  

Keep your Emergency Contact Card in your billfold or wallet so emergency personnel will know who to contact in the event of an accident or injury. Tell the people you list on the Card where to find your Living Smart binder so they will have immediate access to all of the information necessary to give you the help you need in an emergency.
