About Record Keeping
All you have to know about record keeping is either organize or jeopardize. If you stay with the "cluttered box in the closet" approach you risk financial loss or worse. Paper records are easily lost or damaged. It's hard to believe, but there are billions of dollars of unclaimed assets in state treasuries simply because family members don't know they exist. Record Tree® is a software solution for home record keeping. It's programmed to help you gather up your medical, financial, insurance, retirement, emergency, disaster and other vital records, organize them, store them safely and record their whereabouts. Family record keeping the Record Tree® way eliminates a lot of the risk of lost or damaged documents, forgotten assets and unclaimed benefits. It's a little work but you'll be in better shape.
