Leaving enough info behind with my will for those left behind - advice please...

I wanted advice on wills. I wanted to leave some documents behind with my will so those left behind could deal with things easily. I found these two on age-uk guide, which I thought may do the job - but I wondered if they would cover everything somebody would need to know?

www.ageuk.org.uk/Global/Age-Cymru/Factsheets%20and%20information%20guides/AgeUKIG03_When_someone_dies.inf%20March%202013.pdf?dtrk=true

www.ageuk.org.uk/Documents/EN-GB/Factsheets/FS14_Dealing_with_an_estate_fsc.pdf?dtrk=tru

Also, I had a couple of other questions:

  1. I know to register a death, you need id, but do you need id at any stage before that? At the hospital perhaps? Maybe it depends if they die at home?

    -

  2. With somebody who's self employed - Is it different than from a regular person dying in any way? Or are all the processes exactly the same? Posting an ad in the london gazette and a local paper, giving the creditors 8 weeks etc

    Also I did wonder about national insurance contributions...

    -

    Not really had many people die on me, myself. Presumably other people on these boards have though - or are maybe lawyers. I just wanted to feel I'd left enough information that somebody would need.

    I've got a separate document made up with my passwords... what I want to try do in this instance though here is just leave enough information about the practical steps...

tonyf there was a good thread very recently which covered all this. I think you'll find it in Legal.

It's the same thread, same OP, mrsdinklage.

Very odd.
