twopence I’m in a similar position to you, after being widowed I’ve gone into overdrive putting my own affairs into order. I’ve labelled them household information, personal information and holiday information each put into plastic folders for my offspring to sort out when I’m gone.it’ll make things so easy for those I leave behind

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.
