Sterling DB01 Deed Boxes, Black, 12"

Product Information

If it is a substantial amount of notes at home, a fireproof safe is the best option. For smaller amounts of money or when travelling, use a fireproof document or money bag. Are bank money bags fireproof? So why would you need one of these boxes? There are a number of reasons. In legal matters concerning possession or even repossession of homes, deeds are the most important documents. Without proof of ownership, the law concerning home owning can become very difficult to enforce or benefit from.

This might be the scenario should there be a death, and the property ownership by a person’s family is in doubt. This will help you to solve any queries. Having read this far, you might already have begun creating a mental shortlist of the items you would choose to protect. Now imagine losing them all – at the same time. It is a scary prospect, or at least it would be were there not such a simple and cost effective means of avoiding this potential nightmare: deed boxes. These boxes offer a safe, secure, and organised way to protect their deeds. If you wish to, you may also keep different documents in there such as birth certificates. Pretty much anything you can fit in there.

Deed Boxes

The other benefit of having title deeds is that you can also use title deeds to access finance options. It's not uncommon that many put it as collateral damage if they fail to honour their financial commitments. They protect against fire, water, and moisture. You can trust that any documents placed in these will remain in pristine condition. 2. Fireproof Safes It doesn’t make sense to spend money to protect your important documents from a fire only to see them damaged by a flood. In conclusion, pride will often come before a fall. You might be one of those who never lose things, but it only takes one time for you to lose crucial documents in real life. It often happens when we least expect it.

But it can easily hold documents, passports, deeds, photos and cash without causing any creasing. What we like about it: Safelincs offers a specifically designed Fire and Waterproof Deed Box which protects documents as the ones mentioned above. Suitable for A4 documents and with an internal cubic capacity of 5.4 litres, there is even ample space to store multiple CDs, DVDs or USB devices alongside your paperwork should you wish to. This protects your digital information from fire and water damage as well. You would not dream of exposing your valuables to theft by leaving them unattended on a window ledge. By the same logic, surely you would not willingly leave your most important documents exposed to fire or water damage either, would you? Yes, most fireproof document bags work to protect your documents from fire. However, depending on design and materials, different bags will have a certain max temperature that they can withstand.

The product is designed to hold a variety of documents, up to lever arch file size, making it a flexible option for anyone who has to transport or store paperwork on a day to day basis. If you have a mortgage on your home, then the bank or building society that provided the mortgage may well keep the title deeds securely in their offices, although many are now not offering this service. However, if you paid for your property outright or if your mortgage has been paid in full, your lawyer will receive the title deeds. It's then up to you to decide whether to store these important documents somewhere yourself or whether to leave them in the hands of your lawyer or solicitor. If you want to have them at home, you will have to invest in a secure, safe and organised way of keeping them.
