Hi all,
After I recent bereavement in the family, I'm slowly working my way through the deceaseds financials and notifying banks, pension companies etc.. trying to put everything in order for his partner.
This got me thinking that I could make this whole process a lot less stressful for my family if anything happened to me by having the details of my life insurance, pensions, saving accounts, share trading accounts banking account and email account stored in some way that they would be safe but also easy to access should the worst happen.
The problem is I'm not sure what would be the best way to go about this. Ideally, I'd like some kind of USB stick that you need a password to access. Then I could store all the info in a text document inside. The security does not have to be unbreakable as the device would be stored in my home safe. So the security only has to be strong enough to keep the data safe until I know I have been robbed and can update my passwords in a timely manner.
Anyone else do this? I would love to hear some suggestions.
Thanks
Rumple
