FamilyBoardHome-purchase documents deserve their own archive
Closing and purchase records can have long-term legal, tax or property significance. They should not be treated like ordinary appliance receipts.
Keep a property-level category
Separate property purchase documents from ongoing maintenance and household operations. Record a document index and where the durable originals are stored.
Preserve inspection and disclosure references
These documents may explain conditions that later become repairs or renovation projects. Link relevant findings to later household records without altering the source document.
Follow real retention advice
How long legal and tax documents should be kept depends on jurisdiction and circumstances. The app should encourage the household to follow qualified guidance rather than publish a universal retention rule.
Protect access
Property documents may contain highly sensitive personal information. Do not place them in shared display mode or casual attachments without appropriate security.
Contextual CTA: Create a property archive index even if the original documents remain in another secure storage system.
