5.0 out of 5 stars "For The Record" helps you organize important life details, May 13, 1999

This review is from: For the Record: A Personal Facts and Document Organizer (Hardcover)

I work with many older adults who will find this product extremely beneficial in helping them organize their lives in such a way that will make it very easy for them to access important documents, records and so forth.

In addition, "For The Record" has a very enticing format, is self-explanatory and the forms are quite easy to read and use.

In the past, I have seen similar products that are priced much higher, so "For The Record" appears to be the best value on the market in my experience. I plan to recommend "For The Record" to a number of my patients, and to anyone who needs to get their life affairs in better order.
