Why is it important to store the documents safely and securely and how to do so?
It is important to safely store your vital documents simply
because you never know what may happen before the day is done .....
your house may burn, there may be a disastrous flood, tornado,
hurricane ..... whatever you can imagine. Should you choose to use
home storage, you ought to check consumer reports for the best
choices in safes or other fireproof/waterproof containers.
Personally, I would rent a safe deposit box at a bank for the
original documents, and keep only copies at home. Obtaining copies
of original documents is time consuming and can be expensive.
