How to Organize Your Home:
You should have a designated space to keep Emergency Information as well as Personal Information. If something were to happen to you, and your family needed access to these types of documents, you don’t want them to have to dig around through your desk, spending hours of precious time looking for what they need. Here are some of the items I suggest you keep in a safe place:
Marriage Certificate
Birth Certificate
Adoption Papers
Citizenship Records
Divorce Papers
House Deed
Mortgage Papers
Death Certificate
Automobile Titles
Service Papers
Leases /Contracts
Will
Patents and Copyrights
Passports
Life Insurance Policy
Health Insurance Card (s)
Copy of your License
Medical Directives (should you not be able to speak on your own behalf, a medical directive will ensure your decisions are followed)
Emergency Medical Contacts (primary physician’s phone number, etc)
Medical Information (blood type, allergies, etc)
Up to date photo of everyone in your family, including your pets (in case someone goes missing)
Finger Prints
Pet Insurance
If security is a concern of yours, then store these documents in a safe, locked drawer, or in a safety deposit box. Here are the items I suggest you store in a secured space.
