The Emergency 'Grab Folder' Checklist

Picture the 3am scenario: you're in an ambulance, and someone who loves you needs answers — GP, medications, LPA, insurance, who has a key, who takes the dog. Could they answer any of it without ransacking your house?

This checklist for England & Wales builds one clearly labelled folder, in a known place, holding or pointing to everything your family needs in an emergency. Twenty minutes to set up, costs nothing but the folder. It covers exactly what goes in, what must never go in (no passwords, PINs or seed phrases — ever), and where to keep it so it's findable but useless to the wrong person.

• Full document checklist with copy-or-locator-note approach
• Emergency contacts page for the front of the folder
• What NOT to include — the identity-theft-proofing rules
• The gentlest possible first step into proper planning
