Q: How Should You Store Important Files?
A: There are a multitude of ways to effectively store important documents. It’s a good idea to use a fireproof safe or password-protected electronic file for documents such as bank and investment statements, tax documents, estate-planning documents, pay stubs, and pension information.
You may also want to invest in a safe deposit box for papers that can’t be easily replaced. These include original birth and death certificates, Social Security cards, marriage and divorce decrees, passports, and life insurance documents. As an extra layer of security, you can scan your documents onto your computer (make sure they are clear copies). You should also back them up to a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox. To protect your data, make sure the storage provider uses encryption technology. You can also store copies of your files in folders on a password-protected external hard drive.

It is likely that some of you put a lot of time and effort into crafting a business plan for your new business, and now it sits on a shelf or in a drawer collecting dust. Many businesses will review their annual business plan monthly to make sure they are consistent with what they laid out for the business and to make the necessary adjustments along the way.
Our blog has a full write up on reasons you should review your business plan.
When thinking about estate planning, the first document that tends to come to mind is a Last Will and Testament (“Will”). However, there are other estate planning documents that are essential to any good estate plan. These include: Advance Directives, (such as a Health Care Surrogate Designation), Revocable Living Trusts (“Trust”), and Durable Powers of Attorney.
You may be wondering if these other estate planning documents have the same duration as Wills do. Here, we will talk about the basics of these documents and how long they last.
