We prepared well in advance knowing where our parents current accounts and policies were located. That's something my dad insisted we knew about, just in case.
It's a good idea to ask your parents to prepare an inventory that lists all of their accounts and policies, along with locations, account numbers and passwords. They don't have to turn them over to you if they don't want to, and my dad did not, but he wanted us to know where to find them.
