Keep your Important Legal Paper Documents Safe!

In this day and age of electronic storage of documents, there are still certain documents the need to be kept in their paper form. Your will and power of attorney are documents that need to be produced in their original form in order to be recognized.

Accordingly, they should be stored by you safely. Commonly, a safety deposit box at home or at a financial institution will suffice.

It is important that your executor and  attorney know how to collect the documents when the need arises. But it is recommended that you maintain custody and control of these documents until their use is required.

Please contact us to discuss any concerns you may have about these documents, and their use.
