| | Using a safe deposit box |
 | | These are the papers you don't often need to refer to and are difficult to replace: military discharge papers, stock and bond certificates, original copies of birth, marriage, and death certificates, adoption, divorce and child custody papers, and the deed to your house. |
 | | Safe deposit boxes are also ideal for storing small family heirlooms that cannot be replaced and other items of value, such as gold coins or valuable collections. |
 | | Safe deposit boxes are safe from theft and fire, but they may not be safe from water damage from floods. |
