What a great list and advice—thanks, Don! I’d add filling out a MOLST form or some other advance directive and talking to your kids/survivors and doctor about it.

Excellent reminder to document how your life works. I use my own system ("Household Handbook") which includes all you mention, plus: Military and adoption records; drivers licenses; Frequent Flyer and Paypal accounts; IRS taxpayer ID numbers; organ donation info; telephone and cable providers; retail subscriptions (eg Amazon, Passport Gifts, etc.) club and gym memberships. Yes, putting it all together is very time-consuming and it needs constant updates as things change, drop off or are added to the list. But such a generous thing to do for our survivors!
