Many thanks for all the replies. My late friend was someone who did indeed regularly move his money around at a time when interest rates were a lot lower than in 2023. One thing I've learnt from this is to store a list of my accounts in a drawer next to my will.

Honesty don’t have lots of bank accounts. People don’t keep proper records. Father had 20 bank accounts. All with paper records in a hoarders house. It was then chucked over to me….
Dont do it to your Attorneys or even worse your Executors. I literally spent all day going to various banks getting POA registered and not always successfully.1
