2 years ago One more thing on this. The surviving partner might not be in the best circumstances immediately after one's passing away.
Should there be a backup person (daughter/son/brother/sister/...) to have access to a, or even have a separate, hard copy?

2 years ago Ohh i like that notes option. I wonder if iPhones and Android notes are a good place too.
I reached out to a couple friends and asked them to fly in and help Lu do immigration papers and take care of the things she's capable of doing regularly, but likely not in deep grief as you mentioned.
Someone else mentioned automating parts of this but I don't see it being possible, other than perhaps an annual calendar reminder to update everything.

2 years ago I use Evernote for keeping items accessible on the web. Besides the web interface, I have the Windows and Android app. I'm sure they have something for Apple. For more than 3 access points, a subscription is needed. (https://www.evernote.com/) Do I get recognition for the EOL? WIT Mental Health webinar. Ralph
We should all be using a password manager and 2FA, but perhaps the less technical-savvy survivor is not keen or able, to use that immediately after one passes away.
I do like, and use, the idea of the "Notes" option that most modern password managers now seem to have. That is ideal to store information that is not purely account/password. Things like PIN codes, contract numbers, ...
I also like the idea of a safe location to store that info in hard-copy format.
But how to organise a regular "dump" of that info to such a hard copy? We can script that, but how and from where would that script run? And where to store the hard copy?
Just some practical questions I don't have a definitive answer to yet.
