Odds are, there's an important document or two that you know you should have, but that you just haven't gotten around to getting yet. Incredibly bad advice. Advising everyone to have a durable power of attorney is like advising everybody to build a bomb shelter and stock up for the 2012 end of the world scenario or like advising people to credit revocable living trusts. Simply a vehicle for those promoting the documents to make money.

An original or certified copy of one's birth certificate. 2. A valid photo ID. 3. A current passport. Life is much less of a hassle when a you have these documents. Skip the to-do list unless you've been diagnosed with dementia. A purpose driven life is itself a constant reminder to achieve one's goals. Besides, I've already had fun picking out the music for my funeral. As a professional musician, it'll be my last chance to inflict a didactic moment on a captive audience.

Believe it or not if you have more then around 5 grand in assestts that need insuring and you rent you are out of luck. Insurence companies assume if you rent you do not have nice things and there for they have a cap on who they will insurer.
