Where is the best place in my home to store valuable and sensitive documents?

You should store sensitive documents in a secure location, such as a locked drawer inside a room with a lock. Depending on the nature of the documents, you might also consider storing them in a locking safe. Some safes are also waterproof and fireproof to a certain degree, so in the event of a natural disaster to your home, you would still be able to retrieve them. Examples of sensitive documents to be stored include birth certificates, wills, and deeds.
