You know the familiar refrain. "I'll take care of it soon…maybe even tomorrow". Sadly, this often applies to the things we consider important. Things like location of a will, organizing our insurance, assets and debts and other personal data. Sometimes we even get started, only to put it aside or never update what we did once organize.

I was a healthy active 60 something. Hadn't had a headache or seen a doctor for more than a cut or poison ivy in over 20 years. Picture the helplessness and frustration when suddenly there I was in intensive care. Twenty-four hours away from death at one point, on a respirator at another.

In lucid moments all I could think about was the loose ends my loved ones would have to wrestle with. Two houses, businesses, debts, investments, insurance…scattered all over home and office. How would they locate things, what if I became an invalid or worse?

I was fortunate, for after visiting death's doors, a reprieve was granted. I vowed to "clean up my act". In doing so, the DataDeed was born. Now, I urge you too … please consider this matter with some urgency… DataDeed makes it easy . Life is beautiful but fragile!

Please don't risk the "coulda, woulda, shoulda" trauma that awaits those who can't or won't face these real needs. Take the simple steps today to organize and secure vital personal data with a DataDeed. Think of the advantages… data organized…securely available only to those you select…stored off premises safe from fire, flood or intruders… and greatest of all… peace of mind.

Consider this… freedom from "coulda, woulda, shoulda" trauma …with DataDeed.
