Create a private index of relationship records, estate documents, authorizations, notices, and communications. A family relationship, a person’s role in arranging care, and authority to act in a legal matter are different questions. Record what each document actually establishes.
Start with the source#
Use coded identifiers in the working overview. Keep dates and document versions precise, particularly where authority changed or several people may have different roles. Do not infer that possession of a document authorizes its public disclosure or permits action for everyone named in it.
Working table#
Print this page or reproduce the blank table in a private document. Use “unknown” where the record does not answer a question. The dashes are intentional blank fields, not findings.
| Person/role code | Relationship or asserted role | Supporting document | Relevant date/version | Scope expressly documented | Missing authority or conflicting record |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

How to use the record#
List each request for records alongside the authorization supplied and the custodian’s response. Preserve competing family or estate documents without choosing a preferred account silently. Keep sensitive identity, financial, and medical information in separately controlled files, not the index prepared for broader review.
Limits and contrary evidence#
This worksheet does not identify heirs, establish successor-in-interest status, appoint a representative, determine standing, or calculate a deadline. Family members should obtain appropriate advice before signing documents or making representations on another person’s behalf.
Review questions#
- What does the document say about the scope of the person’s role?
- Is the document current for the action being considered?
- Are there other people or records whose interests or authority must be considered?

Private use of completed worksheets. This page is a blank organizing aid, not a place to submit records. Keep completed versions and identifying attachments private. Use only information you are authorized to possess and share. Do not post patient, personnel, witness, or privileged material.
This worksheet does not provide legal advice, calculate a deadline, determine a claim, assess clinical care, or replace professional review. It is not an emergency reporting channel.
Important legal-information notice#
KPSGILL.com is not a law firm. No one at KPSGILL.com is a lawyer, and no person associated with the website provides legal advice through these Roadmaps.
The CFMG–Wellpath Claims & Accountability Roadmaps are provided for general educational, research, public-interest, and informational purposes. They explain legal concepts, statutes, cases, procedural issues, evidence considerations, and publicly available records in general terms.
Nothing on KPSGILL.com creates an attorney-client relationship. Reading the website, using a worksheet, following a Roadmap, sending information to the website, or communicating with anyone associated with KPSGILL.com does not make that person your lawyer and does not create attorney-client privilege or confidentiality.
The Roadmaps do not determine whether any particular person has a valid legal claim, who should be sued, what claims should be brought, what defenses apply, what a case is worth, or when an individual filing deadline expires.
Laws, regulations, court decisions, procedural rules, and filing deadlines can change and can depend upon facts, jurisdiction, custody status, employment status, the identity of the parties, and other circumstances. A general limitation period or procedural rule described on this website should never be treated as a calculation of an individual's actual deadline.
Anyone considering a legal claim, responding to a lawsuit, facing a filing deadline, deciding whether to preserve or disclose records, or making another decision with legal consequences should consult a qualified licensed attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction.
Primary sources should be reviewed independently. Where a Roadmap discusses CFMG, Wellpath, counties, clinicians, employers, or other entities, the discussion should not be understood as establishing liability merely because an entity or legal theory is discussed.
