Use class data in multiple Jframes

I am developing an application with several JFrames, I created a class called Person with several attributes to be used in JFrames application. My main question is: where should I instantiate this class so that its attributes are accessible by any JFrame?

To simplify the problem, I have developed an MVE for anyone who is willing to help to test.

Main:

package teste;
public class Teste {


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Screen1 sc1 = new Screen1();
        sc1.setVisible(true);
    }

}

Person class:

package teste;
public class Person {
    String name;
    String age;
    public Person(String name, String age){
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getName(){
        return this.name;
     }  
     public void setAge (String age) {
        this.age = age;
    }
    public String getAge(){
        return this.age;
     } 
}

Jframe 1:

package teste;

public class Screen1 extends javax.swing.JFrame {


    public Screen1() {
        initComponents();
    }


    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">                          
    private void initComponents() {

        jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
        jTextField1 = new javax.swing.JTextField();
        jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();

        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        jLabel1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 0, 18)); // NOI18N
        jLabel1.setText("NAME");

        jButton1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 0, 18)); // NOI18N
        jButton1.setText("NEXT");
        jButton1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
                jButton1MouseClicked(evt);

Well come on, a Jframe is nothing more than a class. Knowing this we also know that instantiated objects within a scope are visible only in this scope.. ie:

    public class Screen3 extends javax.swing.JFrame {
        public Screen3() {
            initComponents();
//essa Classe instanciada aqui morre aqui, só serve para setar as label's mesmo..
            Person p = new Person(); 
            jLabel1.setText(p.getName());
            jLabel2.setText(p.getAge());

        }
    }

if this instantiated class needed to be maintained throughout the process it would have to be declared outside the scope and instantiated in the constructor..

        public class Screen3 extends javax.swing.JFrame {
            private Person p;            
            public Screen3() {
                initComponents();
                p = new Person(); 
                jLabel1.setText(p.getName());
                jLabel2.setText(p.getAge());

            }
        }

another way would be to create a Person in a class that has main method, and from it pass the Person in the instance of jFrames.. but this would make all Jframes to be exactly the same Person object.
