Again, your Doctor or Lawyer or Accountant must be a Trustee, authorised by you to access these Chests. You should only put information in these Chests that is relevant in an emergency. For example, information that is vital and not currently on your medical record or relevant information that is not already accessible from government records. Note that Secure My Treasures stores copies of information. A copy of will or a power of attorney can not be used as replacments for the original documents.
