Here is an interesting concept

When my mother passed away her pension came to a stop.
The pension scheme took the death certificate as notice to stop paying the pension but my father was due to receive half of it as a widows pension.
The trustees would only start paying again when probate was obtained which took nearly 5 months.
Because of the pay dates Dad was without the money for just over 6 months.
The scheme did pay the arrears but if he had been dependant on the money he could have been in a financial mess.

My DD has always had my online banking details because we do a lot of driving.( off on our 2nd road trip to Spain this year in a couple of weeks)
I hate the thought that if we "went " together, she would not be able to get money straight away. Morbid, I know. But you have to be realistic.

Fantastic idea! I deal with a lot of online shopping, and banking etc - I honestly forgot to think about managing all this when i'm gone! Very happy to hear there are options available.

I think thats a great idea elegran I will have a look later.
I am in the process of setting up a meeting for my FIL with the undertaker to sort his funeral out, best to be prepared.

Sorry about that notso I just came across it . . . .

Oh, gosh - thanks for raising that. I hadn't even considered any of this!

When I get a mo ...... !

Thanks for that Elegran. I'm preparing a 'When I'm Dead' list to cover digital stuff. Such as who to notify from my Contacts list; passwords for Ebay, Amazon, PayPal etc in case there is money owing or due; log on details for sites that need closing down.

It's a bit early in the morning to be thinking of 'Dead' stuff, so I'm off to find something a bit more cheerful. Maybe a bowl of Shreddies!
