How Are Your Documents Stored?

August 22, 2011


If you needed a copy of your Life Insurance or your auto's pink slip or the deed to your property, how quickly could you find these documents? Do you have a file where they are all labeled and easily found? Or are they in a drawer somewhere?


For first time home buyers starting out right with a document organizer will make your life less complicated if you ever have need of the purchase documents. For tax purposes it is important to have evidence of the purchase price that will provide the basis for any future capital gain. Adding any improvements to the property should also be collected in this file during the course of home ownership. Homeowners insurance papers are also a good thing to file in your homeownership file.


I read in the newspaper about a portable file case that is designed to aid in the gathering of documents that ought to be kept and that may prove important.


This case is called LifeinCase and was developed when the co-inventor had to find documents upon the death of her father. It has folders that list the documents that are important in five category labeled folders.
