Started to put together my Worst Case Scenario file. Anyone else have one?

I have a few pages describing who to contact in the event of my passing or imminent problem.

I wrote down the secrets to accessing my computer. This was especially important since mine are more obscure than most. I also talked to my brother who is a retired computer professional about things, so if there's a problem they can (probably will) refer to him. I am reminded of my uncle passing away a few years ago and no one knew how to get into his computer (he had obscure password hints). I want people to get in and do the transactions they need to do.

I also wrote a letter each to my son, and mother. I have to do one for my wife, but I'm not emotionally there yet, at least not this morning.

I'll put it in a WCS (Worst Case Scenario) folder and they can have it when they need it. Legal docs will be added too.

He got angry that I started a file, but he will be glad I did.
