Where should I keep my life insurance policy?

Your life insurance policy is evidence of your coverage to be left your your family (beneficiaries).

Keep your life insurance policy in a secure place that is fire-proof, such as a bank safe deposit box.

Keep a copy of your life insurance policy at home, along with important communications from your life insurance company and receipts or copies of your premium payments to the insurance company.

Make sure your beneficiaries know how to make a claim on your life insurance policy upon your passing, or understand how to contact the insurance company in the event of your death.
