Although always worth making sure your nearest and dearest know where you bank etc, and where your saving are, which may be less obvious in these electronic days (says Simon having just shredded most of the snail mail correspondence with my online broker). As we give plenty of money to the government when alive, would be a shame to give them more by accident once we are dead. Although in most cases if your account contact details are current they'll eventually write to you (sometime in the next 15 years). Remember to include the recently deceased on postal redirects where possible. When I was last an executor I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently and how sensitively most organisations handled these matters. Although in a lot of cases it was just getting the deceased name off membership lists and mailing lists, which isn't strictly necessary but bereaved partner's probably won't want those kind of reminders in the post too often. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
