      Your True Order - O Escobar

      Authors Note

      We are the center of our own universe.  Our multitasking life includes trying to be a full-time everything. We work full time, take care of our home, our children, aging parents, and maybe a beloved pet. We are responsible for all the ‘paperwork,’ e.g. bills, birth certificates, passports, insurance and finances.  We are also responsible for knowing and remembering passwords, pin numbers, and login information. 

      As the center of our own universe, we live an autonomous life.  Every day we make personal choices and financial decisions that matter.  Many of us have a great handle on our finances, but our record keeping systems might not be obvious to family members, advisors or friends who might need immediate access to them in times of emergency.  Would your loved ones be able to quickly locate your important information or know how to handle your affairs?  

      Since my answer was a resounding No, I created Your True Order.  A guide that outlines what vital information you need to gather, then organize, and store —  so that it can be conveniently and safely accessed — then shared, when needed, with appropriate individuals.

      I encourage you to be good to yourself and those who love you by investing the time to create Your True Order.

      ––––––––

      Preface

      Benjamin Franklin wrote, In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.  The less animated side of certainty includes the billions of unclaimed bank accounts and other assets currently held by State treasurers instead of beloved family, friends, or a charity — all because of unfilled and unsought paperwork. 

      The Your True Order guide is a preventative method to protect yourself and your assets against the misfortunes and inopportune disasters that inevitably play a role in our lives.

      The Your True Order guide is a preventative method to protect yourself and your assets against the misfortunes and inopportune disasters that inevitably play a role in our lives. By completing the tedious but necessary paperwork, creating multiple backups, and utilizing this guide to create a system where your vital information is accessible, you will lift the additional burden of what now should a disaster occur. 

      Gathering, organizing and providing access to your important personal and financial information, and documents, is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and those you love.

      The Your True Order Guide (YTO), Workbook and Checklist will ease the process for you.  The three-prong approach will help you acknowledge, assemble and provide access into your universe.  How it works:

      The YTO Workbook is easy to follow and to complete. It will help you to organize your personal records information.  The YTO Workbook was created for the use of a general audience; you can skip the sections that do not apply to you.  With your completed Workbook, your family or executor can easily step in and facilitate your decisions.

      The YTO Checklist will help ensure you have, can locate and access your personal documents and information. The YTO Checklist includes a Quick Pin Checklist, a Quick Password List, an Inventory Quick List Security and a Password Question Check List.
