Best normal option is a locked container with a relative. In scenarios where there is a particular risk or a lot of money potentially involved, store important documents with an attorney.
- SturgeonsLaw 4y agoHaving seen the number of attorneys (even - no, especially - at the partner level) who leave their computers unlocked and who push back against measures like 2FA, if the document is high enough value, please spend some time vetting them first.
- frereubu 4y agoJust a note that I was advised by my lawyer (in the UK) that I shouldn't give him these kinds of details for next-of-kin access after my death as they need to go through probate before they can get hold of them, and that can take a loooooong time.
- Ekaros 4y agoFire proof safes aren't that expensive. They probably don't stop physical attack, but are good enough in semi-trusted environment and cover for two of the important risks, fire and water invasion.
- mdip 4y agoThe "not very expensive" ones are also not very fire-proof, unfortunately. A family friend learned this the hard way when a sizeable amount of cash went up in flames and his $300 Sentry safe was a melted mess, the contents forever lost.
- slavboj 4y agoThere is no such thing as a "fire proof safe". They are rated to maintain a certain temperature delta inside for a certain length of time given a fire outside. In the common situation where a house lights up and the structure collapses with a bunch of hot debris burying the safe, thermodynamics wins.
