Emergency Legal & Personal Documents Kit
When this is used
This kit is used during unexpected life disruptions — illness, hospitalization, travel emergencies, sudden incapacity, or periods when decision-making becomes difficult.
It exists to reduce confusion when time, energy, or clarity is limited.
What this kit does
This is a fill-in emergency records kit that helps you clearly document:
- who may act on your behalf
- who should be contacted
- what care preferences matter to you
- what information others need quickly
It does not replace a lawyer or medical professional.
It helps you prepare, organize, and communicate critical decisions before or during an emergency.
What’s inside this kit
This PDF includes structured, printable templates for:
- Emergency Power of Attorney (temporary / preparatory record)
- Temporary Guardianship instructions (if applicable)
- Emergency contact lists
- Living Will / end-of-life preferences
- Medical directive & care preferences
- Final review & storage checklist
Each section is clearly labeled, calm, and designed to be usable under stress.
Who this is for
This kit is for people who want:
- clarity during health or life disruptions
- a single place to record critical decisions
- something practical to use before meeting a lawyer or doctor
- a way to reduce the burden on family or trusted contacts
It is especially useful for:
- solo adults
- caregivers
- parents
- frequent travelers
- anyone preparing for surgery, illness, or extended absence
Who this is not for
This kit is not intended to:
- replace legal advice
- serve as a government-issued form
- function as a legally binding document on its own
Local laws may require formal versions of some documents. This kit helps you prepare for those conversations, not avoid them.
