Keep Forever

Keep Until no Longer Needed

Examples: Home Improvement records until you pay capital gains tax, investment information, vehicle titles until you sell vehicles, appliance warranties until you replace appliances, real estate deed(s) and settlement documents until pay taxes, loan documentation, Living Will, paid medical bills, Powers of Attorney,

Keep Until Expired

Examples: Licenses, Passports, Travel Accounts, Global Entry, car insurance, life insurance, service contracts and warranties

Examples: Taxes and documentation, tax related cancelled checks, W-2, records for tax deductions taken

Toss Immediately

Examples: Sales receipts (unless you are going to return an item(s), ATM receipts, paid credit card statements, paid utility bills, and cancelled checks that are not tax related

Storing the EOMO system is an important decision.
Some factors to consider are:

  • Accessibility – Handy for periodic review, update and decision-making
  • Safety – Protection from fire, flood, damage and loss
  • Security – Safeguarding from theft, misuse and tampering
  • Delegation – Sharing with loved ones/trusted agents (Delegates)
  • Store documents that are important, difficult to replace, and or need to be secured from fire, theft, and water damage.
  • A Home Safe Box is a water proof, fire proof and theft proof container. Keep in mind that home safe specifications vary as do their level of protection. Be an educated consumer. As with most things, do some research and get informed before purchasing and selecting the location of your Home Safe Box.
  • Examples: Birth certificates, citizenship papers, social security card, passport, marriage and or divorce certificate, adoption papers, property titles, insurance policies, interior and exterior photographs/video of your home, safe deposit box keys, EOMO encrypted thumb drive or CD or Executive Binder, health care proxies.
