I created an "End of Life" binder with several sections, including a one-page "Read Me First" cover page w/critical info, followed by a checklist and table of contents for my designated executor. It includes the contract w/the funeral home (pre-arrangements) and other key documents. It took awhile to organize but it is worth it.

I have done the same. Last year after my sister died, I had to handle everything. No will. No executor named. With privacy laws I could not access anything.

My binder list everything someone would need to settle my affairs. Copies of trusts, wills, health care directive, etc...

This list from my local bank is helpful to know what important documents everyone should have available:

Great forward-thinking! Sounds like you covered the business and medical care choices should you not be able to communicate them yourself?
