Most insurers will also write via snail mail 14 or so days before an insurance renewal is due.mgfvvc said:A while back, I set up a shared spreadsheet in Google Docs, with all savings and pensions accounts, insurance details, etc. My wife naturally has access and can use it to find necessary details if I am incapacitated.Obviously this doesn't help you now, but may be a good idea for next time, if there is a next time, and for any other readers.I'm not sure my wife will actually remember it's there, but I hope so.
I must add a reminder to update it, a week or two after our regular renewals.
And yes I have been putting together a spreadsheet to share - at his request as I handle all the bills/finances generally. But insurance polices change more frequently than bank accounts or credit cards so are a bit trickier.
I'll be trolling back through the bank & credit card statements as already suggested and if that doesn't work I'll check his car to see if there are any clues in there.
