1. Natural disasters don’t RSVP. Floods, fires, and hurricanes don’t care that your important papers are “safely” stored in your basement.
2. Loved ones live everywhere. If your family’s out of state and needs your healthcare directive or will now, how exactly are they supposed to access that binder on your bookshelf?
3. Life happens 24/7. What if someone needs your DNR, medical proxy, or power of attorney at 2am on a holiday weekend?
4. Boxes don’t send reminders. DocuGuardian nudges you when your life insurance is expiring or it’s time to revisit your estate plan. That binder? Radio silence.
5. No farewell videos in a filing cabinet. Want to leave a message for your kids, partner, or best friend? We’ve got a place for that, your box, not so much.
6. Theft happens. A safe can be stolen. A cloud-based encrypted vault? Not so much.
7. Thinking you’re “all set” is the biggest trap. Most people think they’ve taken care of things, until their family has to go on a scavenger hunt during a crisis.
8. It’s not just for you. It’s for those you love, so they don’t have to deal with confusion, stress, or “Where’s the will?” while grieving.

Your legacy is more than just legal, financial, and insurance documents, it’s the story of your life.
