PRNewswire

The ramifications of Katrina will be felt for a long time as loss of life and damage to health, home, and property is assessed. Many lessons have come out of this catastrophe -- one of them is the importance of organizing legal affairs. U.S. Legal Forms CEO Frank D. Edens says creating and maintaining a life documents file is part of being prepared for an emergency -- whether hurricane, fire, flood, or other unforeseen event.

"A life documents file is a collection of important legal papers from identification records and major contracts to legal documents we have prepared or have had prepared for us by an attorney. It includes papers such as birth certificates, social security cards, deeds, loan documents, insurance policies, marriage certificate, and titles to property, as well as will, living will, and power of attorney forms," said Edens.
