10 Essential Documents to Keep in Your Digital Vault
Your life is filled with important documents, but finding the right one in a moment of need can be a stressful scramble through filing cabinets and shoeboxes. A secure digital vault is the modern solution for organizing and protecting your family’s most critical information.
Here are 10 essential documents that every person should have scanned and securely stored in their digital vault.
- Property Deed and Closing Documents: Your deed is the legal proof of homeownership. Having a digital copy is essential for a sale, refinance, or legal dispute.
- Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney: These legal documents outline your wishes for your assets and healthcare. Storing them digitally ensures your executor can access them.
- Passports and Birth Certificates: These are your core identity documents. A digital copy can be a lifesaver if the physical copy is lost or stolen.
- Homeowner’s and Auto Insurance Policies: When an accident happens, you need your policy number and agent’s contact information immediately.
- Mortgage Statements and Loan Documents: Keeping a digital record provides a clear picture of your financial liabilities.
- Tax Returns: You should keep copies of your tax returns for at least seven years. Storing them digitally frees up significant space.
- Home Warranty Contracts: When your furnace breaks, you don’t want to be searching for your contract.
- Major Purchase Receipts and Warranties: Crucial for returns, repairs, or insurance claims on expensive items.
- Vehicle Titles and Registrations: Having a digital backup of your car’s title and registration can simplify the process at the DMV.
- A List of Digital Account Passwords: Keeping a securely encrypted list of your most important online account credentials in your vault can be a critical backup.
