Paperwork

Hi everyone. Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place but after a series of crushing bereavements I've realised I need to get my affairs in order. I've seen various books and binders to help gather everything together and make notes of important passwords etc but was wondering if anyone could recommend one they've found useful?

If you haven’t already done so, ensure your loved ones are aware of where all your important paperwork is, eg will.

With passwords I wouldn’t write them down anywhere for security reasons. Download a password manager app onto your phone to keep the passwords in, and safe and give the pin/password into it to a trusted person to allow access. I use Bitwarden.

edited: make sure they are kept up to date with the pin for your phone to access that!

Ive got one called the Death Book which supports Maggies.
I've redone will and POA after the death of adult ds and made everything watertight. Ive discussed with dd and dh my funeral wishes...and they're written down. Im having a direct cremation.
My ds made a will and his funeral choices which made life easier.
