Spring and summer are generally considered natural disaster seasons in the United States. One way you can help protect yourself and your family is to gather financial and tax documents and store them for safekeeping in the cloud or at an off-site physical location. Include records for: federal, state and property taxes; home, auto and health insurance; mortgages and rental properties; estate plans; and purchase agreements for financed assets. Most people access financial accounts online these days, so make sure your usernames and passwords for bank, investment and retirement accounts are easily accessible.
