MANHATTAN, Kan. - A Kansas State University Research and Extension publication, "Our Valuable Records," makes short work of organizing personal information, said Diane Burnett, Kansas State University Research and Extension agent in Miami County.
Such information is essential in recovering after a natural disaster, managing personal business, or preparing end-of-life documents, such as a will, said Burnett, who earned a master´s degree in family financial management at K-State.
Our Valuable Records" is an easy-to-complete guide for listing key personal information; advisers ranging from a health care provider to a banker, insurance agent, etc.; bank account, insurance policy and credit card numbers and contact information; debt information; memberships in organizations and clubs and other important records, such as school, marriage, military and employment records; and location and inventory of a safety deposit box.
To download the document, interested persons can go to the K-State Research and Extension Web site: http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/publications, click on publications search and search for publication MF-685. The guide is easy to use, said Burnett, who credited Joyce Jones, former K-State Research and Extension financial management specialist, for originally developing the records management form.
