The bedroom is a mess but my files, folders, paperwork? - alphabetical, by year, color-coded - you get the picture. I'm always tweaking to make it more intuitive. I have a couple of lists I give my husband with all of the accounts, contact phone numbers and addresses, logins and passwords, email accounts with logins and who to notify if I can't, for whatever reason. I update at least once a year. I've filed the paperwork for all accounts that can be POD or TOD (paid on death or transfer on death) so they will go direct to my beneficiary(ies) bypassing our wills. I still need to make a bequest list for personal items, though I have an idea of what to give our two children. But I've got 8 brothers and sisters, so this could take some time.

My husband and I have power of attorney for each other but need to update living wills to reflect newer technology. Basic funeral plans - organ donation if possible, cremation, no services. I want a big party on the birthday following my death, complete with song playlist. We've talked, gotten most of the details down.
