My family’s legal documents are being kept somewhere at home, and its kinda weird to think about, like zero security, I doubt its even fireproof, definitely not waterproof, some flood is gonna destroy it.

    I’m not a very legal person, but I can’t think of any documents that I can’t just request a copy.

    If my apartment were to burn down I would have bigger problems to worry about, like homelessness and losing all my tech that took me years to aquire.

      Sure. But it might be easier if you had a birth certificate or your insurance documents at the bank. It’s just one less hassle to prove who you are to have someone make you a new copy.

      Arguably this is less of an issue with digital documents.
