Document and Information Checklist

This checklist is a comprehensive list of documents and information that might be relevant to your situation. Don’t feel overwhelmed by the number of items listed! A good first step is to cross off anything that isn’t relevant to you. For example, if you’ve never served in the U.S. military, you can cross off any items related to military service (e.g., DD214). This document will help you identify what you may need to organize for your Power of Attorney (POA) or personal agent..

Health Information Worksheet & Medications, Vitamins and Supplements Inventory

These worksheets are designed for your healthcare POA to ensure they have all the relevant medical information about you. It’s important to share this with your healthcare POA so they can make informed decisions on your behalf, especially if you're unable to communicate. For example, medical providers will need to know if you have implants like a pacemaker before performing certain procedures or diagnostic tests.
