What Your Family Needs to Know Before an Emergency

In a crisis, your family should not be guessing. A clear roadmap gives them confidence and clarity.

The problem with “they will figure it out”

Many high-net-worth families assume their spouse, children, or siblings will know what to do in an emergency. In reality, even basic information — where the will is stored, who the accountant is, what insurance exists — can take weeks to uncover. A continuity roadmap eliminates that delay.

What to include in your family roadmap

Document locations

Where wills, trusts, deeds, and insurance policies are stored

Advisor contacts

Lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, insurance brokers

Financial accounts

Banks, investment accounts, bills, automatic payments

Property details

Properties owned, mortgages, property managers, insurance

Emergency steps

Who to call, what to pay, how to access critical records

Keep it private, keep it current

A continuity archive does not require sharing sensitive documents. It provides a structured roadmap of what exists and where to find it — and it should be reviewed annually to stay accurate.
