1)List of advisors and contact information. (atty, cpa, etc)
2)Personal documents (marriage license, military discharge, etc)
3)Financial documents (deeds, investment accounts, debts)
4)Estate documents (will, durable power of atty, living will)
5)Final Arrangements (funeral, special donations, people to notify)
