Liz Weston: I’m considering storing essential documents outside the home. What are my options?

Dear Liz: I’d like to add to the conversation about where to store estate documents. Having lost my home, studio, office, and all the contents in the Eaton fire of January 2025, I can tell you that the temperature of our urban fire was high enough to incinerate the contents of many “fireproof” home safes in Altadena. I would no longer keep an only copy there.
