A divorce is a complicated matter that involves numerous elements, especially if you were married for a long time or have many assets. If the divorce came as a surprise, you may be wondering what steps to take. Where will you live? What will you do with all your stuff? These are important considerations, especially since a divorce forces many people to downsize and think about their possessions a bit more. A divorce is never easy, but Hialeah storage units can help you through the transition of married life to single life in the following ways. A Place to Keep Spare Items When you gather all your items and move out of the marital home, you will likely find that you don’t need everything at the moment. If you are moving into a small home, you may discover that you don’t have enough room for your larger items. These are situations in which a storage unit may come in handy. Instead of looking for a larger home, consider a storage unit. Storage units are cost-efficient, with many priced at under $100 a month. They can keep items you don’t use out of the way, but close enough so you can grab them when needed. Storing Documents in a Hialeah Storage Unit Many storage units offer climate-control, which allows you to control the temperature so you can keep items safe. Humidity and cold temperatures can crack, warp and ruin items, especially documents. Papers can turn yellow and curl in extreme temperatures. That’s why you need a storage unit to keep them safe. After a divorce, you may have important documents, such as the final divorce decree, appraisals on assets, marriage certificates, financial documents (such as tax returns and bank statements) and court orders that need to be stored safely. Protecting Valuables Many people have possessions worth a significant amount of money. These may include cars, boats, jewelry, antiques, furniture, electronics, and collections. You may not have room for these items in your new home, or maybe you have the room but your home is lacking in security. After a divorce, nothing could be worse than having your prized possessions misplaced or stolen. Keep them safe in a storage unit. Climate-control keeps your belongings looking like new. You can rest assured that your important valuables will be kept in pristine condition. In addition, state-of-the-art security measures will keep your items safe from theft. Many facilities have gates, alarms and surveillance cameras to deter thieves.
