Above my computer, there is a cupboard with 4 labelled magazine stands inside it.
- paperwork
- bills / tax / mortgage
- receipts / warranties
- user manuals
I haven't got a will yet, but not far off now once my mortgage is paid off, then I'll put my house in my will. When I'm gone, the cupboard above my computer (which is visible when you enter my front door) will be a fairly obvious starting place to look. Then go through the labelled magazine stands, starting with no.1. It will be an an A4 beige envelope labelled "will".
Conversationally though, this doesn't always work as I have a friend who recently lost both parents to dementia. In their paperwork box, he did find an envelope with "will" written on it but it had been ripped open and its contents taken. He doesn't have any leads i.e. which issuing company it was or which solicitor. So him and his 2 brothers have been fighting over it for the past 18 months and it's become pretty toxic to the point that they're falling out. Quite sad if you ask.
