Q: This sounds like something for old people. At what age should I set up my Nokbox?
A: You do not have to be old, nor on your death bed to put together a box. In fact, it would be much easier for everyone if that wasn't the case. If you are just starting out in adulthood, you may not have a lot to put in your box. However, as life goes on, you will. Having a box gives you a place to keep and manage everything and you can avoid having any other files around the house. When you go to apply for that mortgage, or file an insurance claim, or sell your vehicle, you can go right to your Nokbox to grab information you need. It's pretty awesome, and the Nokbox makes a great wedding or housewarming gift. No matter what your age or phase in life, it's a great idea to have a Nokbox!
Q: If I'm married, do we need one box, or two?
A: This can be a tough question, as it depends on how intermingled you keep your accounts. We suggest starting with one, and then seeing what you may need to supplement. Some couples wind up buying two boxes, while others get a Lite kit to add some extra sections to their existing box.
Q: Why isn't this a digital product?
A: The Nokbox is the paper trail for your digital life!
We all have so much online, on paper, and in our minds: it's hard to keep track. The Nokbox does NOT replace your digital information: rather it helps keep track of it!
You do NOT need to handwrite the answers directly on the forms/checksheets: you can simply drop in statements you have or type up your own answers on your computer, print them out, and drop them in.
The Nokbox aims to ELIMINATE the rest of the paper in your home: we just want you to have ONE piece of paper for everything you've got. Think of it as a giant index for your life :).
Here are a few other reasons it's helpful to have a paper file:
When you die, there is paperwork involved. Your NOK will receive checks, payoff statements, death certificates, and lots of other paper. They need a place to put it all.
Paper provides a place to make notes. You may want to jot things down, in your own handwriting, about different accounts or items. Your NOK will definitely be jotting things down as they go ("dial ext 455579 to reach Kim at the insurance company"). Especially if there are multiple people or siblings handling an estate, people will need a place to jot things down
There are services out there who will store all of this stuff for you. We just aren't one of them.
There are no passwords involved, no encryption, and no hacking into a laptop--it's just a file, and it's easy.
Your life may be all digital, but think about who will be taking care of your estate. Will all digital work for them? Or, vice versa--maybe you are all paper, and your NOK is all digital. They will need to go through and organize all of your papers before they can digitize anything. The box makes it easy for them to do so.
Q: How do I keep my Nokbox secure?
A: How do you keep your file cabinet, your bills, your laptop, or your current files secure? Do the same with your box. The Nokbox also provides you with a zippered document bag for passports, birth certificates, titles, etc., so you can place this bag in a safe. We suggest a few ways to keep your passwords secure as well (we do not suggest writing every single one down in the box).
Q: How fireproof is The Nokbox Fireproof?
A: Our box is fire-resistant and the materials of the box are deemed fireproof and have been tested by the manufacturer. We did a similar at-home test as well with success--fire did not burn the box, even after 15 minutes. However, our company is in Colorado, and have seen wildfires that melt refrigerators and cars. We aren’t sure that there are any home fire safes that withstand that kind of sustained fire or heat (and if there are, they would be thousands of dollars). Therefore, we claim that this box is fire-resistant.
