You are not a lawyer. If you are, you’re not my lawyer or you’re not licensed in my jurisdiction or if you are licensed in my jurisdiction, it doesn’t matter because you’re not my lawyer and this is not legal advice.
With access to relatively high quality scanners and electronic copies that are kept in the cloud with encryption and that are backed up by Google, what documents should I keep hard copies of and which are good candidates for digital only copies?
For instance, I had to have an irrevocable trust drawn up for my dad. The paperwork was signed and notarized. (I’m not even entirely sure that I need it anymore since I sent a copy to the state that was requiring it for Medicaid purposes.) But don’t get hung up on this example. How do I decide what to keep in a file cabinet and what to keep in bits and bytes?
