Most of it is scattered across a drawer, an old lawyer's file and a box in the garage. Kept together, on one inventory, it stops being a hunt.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements

The agreement may be read for the first time decades after it was signed, by people who were not in the room. Its schedules, exhibits and signature pages all need to still be attached to it.

Premarital property records

Separate property is easy to assert and harder to show. Statements that predate the marriage, purchase records, titles, appraisals and gift or inheritance documentation are what turn an assertion into a record.

Wills and estate documents

An original will carries weight a copy does not, and a missing original can be contested in circumstances where a present one would not be. Where it sits is a decision worth making deliberately.

Deeds, titles and business papers

Deeds, titles, share certificates and formation documents are the papers a financial case turns on, and the ones nobody can lay hands on at short notice.

Jewelry and heirlooms

Items owned before the marriage or inherited during it are exactly the things that become arguments. An inventory made calmly, before anyone is arguing, is worth having.

Digital records and backups

What sits in a shared cloud account during a separation is rarely what either party intended. An offline copy, held somewhere neither of you can reach casually, solves a problem before it starts.

When you are ready, we are here.

A short phone call is usually enough to know whether a box is the right answer. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.
