Put papers where family can find them
Leave the important documents somewhere your family can reach.
A document nobody can find has not been kept. The question is not where it is safest, but who could reach it on the worst week of their life.
One folder, one page saying what is in it, and one other person who knows both.
Key points
- One plainly named folder beats papers scattered across a computer
- It needs a page listing what is inside, and one person who can reach it
What to remember
- A folder only you can open is a folder only you have.
- Somebody else has to be able to open it. Choose who, and tell them.
