Lately I’ve been on a mission to get our paperwork in order. It’s been a slow process but progress is being made. In this new series I’m excited to share all I’m learning with you! The first step in getting your paperwork organized and de-cluttered is to gather up all the important documents and store in a safe place, preferably fireproof.

Some of these documents should include:

1. Social Security cards

2. Birth Certificates

3. Marriage Certificate

4. Deeds

5. Appraisals

6. Power of Attorney

7. Diplomas

And pretty much anything else you need to keep safe. Granted, most of the things listed can be reissued at the appropriate facility.. but who wants to mess with that? This way all important documents are all together in one safe place.

What other paperwork do you keep in a safe place?
