Dear licdo
It is really useful tips everyone must follow to safeguard the interest of the legal heir. Most of us are maintaining the secrecy of their investment and insurance policy even to their spouse which is incorrect. It must be kept readily available only to the spouse/legal heir in a secured place as and when something happens to us.
