Information Log

Nobody likes to think about getting old, ill, or dying, but it is important to plan for these eventualities to ensure that your wishes are carried out. Taking the time to prepare and organise your affairs will help to relieve the burdens on your family when that time comes, in particular, helping them through legal and financial matters.

Collating Information Putting your affairs in order isn’t just about tidying files, it is about leaving instructions on where everything is kept, saving your family having to search through piles of papers to find the information they need, at a time of great stress. Putting a folder or information pack together with details of all your finances, location of documents, credit card accounts, memberships etc. will save your surviving relatives additional distress when you die. This Information Log is designed to do just that, and should be used in conjunction with the colleague guide: ‘A Guide to Putting Your Affairs in Order: Preparing for Death or a Health Crisis.’ This Guide is available from the Our Tesco website, or via your Personnel Manager. You should keep this Information Log in a safe place, as it will contain personal details which should be kept secure.
