Safe Deposit Boxes

Filed under: General, Young Adults, Adults, Retirees

     Where do you keep your things that are difficult, if not impossible, to replace if lost, stolen, or destroyed?  How about a safe deposit box?  Original birth certificates, social security cards, passports, negatives, back-up discs and heirloom jewelry are just some of the things you can store in your safe deposit box.

     Some people keep a photographic or video inventory of their home which consists of images of each room and each closet.  If a fire or tornado rips through their home the inventory will help them complete the insurance paperwork.  It would be a tough job to remember everything you have in your house on a good day, let alone after a devastating event.  Of course you'll want to store the inventory off-site in a safe deposit box.

     If you're looking for a safe place to store your valuables, your credit union has a variety of sizes of safe deposit boxes available at our Dividend, Mt. Zion, and Forsyth locations.
