Vital Documents: What You Need & Where to Store Them
Contributed by Grady Hansen – State Farm Agent
If you needed the deed to your home, title to your car or your passport, could you locate them quickly? We all know it’s important to organize personal documents. Knowing where certain documents are can be crucial in the event of a family emergency or natural disaster. Equally important is where these documents are stored. Some documents can be kept at home, others in a safe-deposit box at your local bank or in a fireproof box at home if a safe-deposit box is unavailable. It is very important that other family members or a person you trust knows where to find your important documents.
Examples of documents you might need, but that should NOT be kept at home include:
- Deed, title and closing papers for your properties
- Marriage License or Divorce Decree
- Birth Certificates
- Adoption Papers
- Military Records
- Social Security Cards
- Citizenship Papers
- Stock Certificates
- Car Titles
- Insurance Policies
- Home Inventory List
The following documents should be kept at home, perhaps in a fireproof box:
- Tax Returns for the last 7 Years
- Wills (Never store in a safe-deposit box at the bank; it may be impossible to get to in the event of your death)
- Documents regarding your child’s legal guardian
- Copy of durable power of attorney, medical directives, funeral & burial instructions
- Location and key to safe-deposit box
- List of financial institutions and products
- List of doctors and contact information
Make a list of all of your important documents and where they are stored. Keep a copy close at hand and give another copy to a trusted family member, friend or advisor. Be prepared, should you have to evacuate, to grab the fireproof box or other container where your documents are stored. Doing so may provide some peace of mind if you need these documents in the event of an emergency.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact:

Grady – This is such valuable information, often times ignored. I can not tell a lie, I would be in a panic if some unexpected happened and I had to gather all my personal files that are scattered. Thank you for the reminder!

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Bleeding critical dispatch to depend on.. I am really impressed with this article. Looking looking for tomorrow’s posts.
Very orderly and methodical he looked, with a hand on each knee, and a loud watch ticking a sonorous sermon under his flapped waist-coat, as though it pitted its gravity and longevity against the levity and evanescence of the brisk fire. He had a good leg, and was a little vain of it, for his brown stockings fitted sleek and close, and were of a fine texture; his shoes and buckles, too, though plain, were trim. He wore an odd little sleek crisp flaxen wig, setting very close to his head: which wig, it is to be presumed, was made of hair, but which looked far more as though it were spun from filaments of silk or glass. His linen, though not of a fineness in accordance with his stockings, was as white as the tops of the waves that broke upon the neighbouring beach, or the specks of sail that glinted in the sunlight far at sea. A face habitually suppressed and quieted, was still lighted up under the quaint wig by a pair of moist bright eyes that it must have cost their owner, in years gone by, some pains to drill to the composed and reserved expression of Tellson’s Bank. He had a healthy colour in his cheeks, and his face, though lined, bore few traces of anxiety. But, perhaps the confidential bachelor clerks in Tellson’s Bank were principally occupied with the cares of other people; and perhaps second-hand cares, like second-hand clothes, come easily off and on.
Tremendous job! The feedback given was very useful. I am hoping that you sustain the excellent job done.

Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
This is exactly the knowledge I need to. Thanks for writing this publish.
Whats up, awesome website. I enjoy your layout. I recently finished cosmetic classes and would like to begin my own personal webpage. Thanks for the great publish!
