Personal records – Birth certificates and social security cards for you, your spouse and your minor children, your marriage license or any marriage or divorce-related legal agreements you have with your spouse such as antenuptial agreements, prenuptial agreements and/or separation agreements.
Financial documents – All tax returns for you and your spouse for at least the past three years, pay stubs for both you and your spouse, bank statements or any individual or joint checking, savings or money-market accounts. Any life, health, auto and homeowner’s insurance policies.
Assets you own (Personal Assets) – Copies of the titles or loan statements for any motor vehicles you own together or separately, documents describing any land or property you own jointly or separately, and a list of valuables you own jointly or separately.
