How to Organize and De-clutter Your Home Part 5

How to Organize Your Home:

You should have a designated space to keep Emergency Information as well as Personal Information. If something were to happen to you, and your family needed access to these types of documents, you don’t want them to have to dig around through your desk, spending hours of precious time looking for what they need. Here are some of the items I suggest you keep in a safe place:

• Marriage Certificate

• Birth Certificate

• Adoption Papers

• Citizenship Records

• Divorce Papers

• House Deed

• Mortgage Papers

• Death Certificate

• Automobile Titles

• Service Papers

• Leases /Contracts

• Will

• Patents and Copyrights  

• Passports

• Life Insurance Policy

• Health Insurance Card (s)

• Copy of your License

• Medical Directives (should you not be able to speak on your own behalf, a medical directive will ensure your decisions are followed)

• Emergency Medical Contacts (primary physician’s phone number, etc)

• Medical Information (blood type, allergies, etc)

• Up to date photo of everyone in your family, including your pets (in case someone goes missing)

• Finger Prints

• Pet Insurance

If security is a concern of yours, then store these documents in a safe, locked drawer, or in a safety deposit box. Here are the items I suggest you store in a secured space.
