Not only celebrities are those who need agents but anyone should appoint surrogates to bring about our wishes, handle our money or make life-and-death decisions about our health care. There is a kind of document which is needed to keep on hand in case of emergency. It should include everything from your financial and digital passwords and PINs to the music you want at your funeral. Give a copy to your spouse, partner, child or closest friend and to your agent whom you have appointed to represent you to carry out your wishes.
