An excellent point, Nancy, I hope to be heeded by us all. I have on my computer a folder entitled "For My Executor". There are enough spaces in front of the "For" that this file will appear anytime the computer is open. Inside the folder are pointers to several files of importance, such as: house inventory, all assets as described, location of will/power of attorney/health care power of attorney/trusts, and a "letter". The letter describes all of my genealogy data/files/etc , where they are, the systems used and the importance of each. Finally, I have what amounts to a codicil to my will which directs the executor to offer the "stuff" to my children/grandchildren and if they decline to several people in order. The people include two or three researchers I trust (you being one), and the Hopkins Cty Genealogy Society.
