I have recently been widowed and have been going through my husband's affairs, notifing various organisations and gathering documents to take to the solicitor this week. I will be making a new will and want to make things as straightforward as possible for my executors. We had no children and my closest relatives are cousin's children who live at a distance. The solicitor will probably need to have an substantial input when sorting out my affairs. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a book with various headings where details can be recorded to make things easier for all concerned, or a website where I could download and print headed pages to go in a loose leaf folder. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

I also phoned Age UK and requested the LifeBook. Spoke to a lovely lady. She said she would put a book in the post this afternoon. Apologised as they could only send it 2nd class. So helpful and polite.

I too have spoke spoken to a very pleasant and helpful lady at Age UK and ordered the Life Book. Thanks again for the useful and caring advice.
