Executors’ Information - where to hide it so it can be found when needed?

I'm in the process of getting a new will written by an online company called Kinherit. These were recommended by my IFA, and they keep your will in an online vault and a physical storage.

But ... They're not necessarily solicitors. So if the company goes down the tubes, where are you then?

I note their 'estate planners' are all STEP qualified or working towards it. Do you know what you'd get? Qualified, or working towards?

I have a 'London Bridge' folder at my house - worked perfectly at the passing of one parent and is now updated for the next time.

contents:

funeral instructions and what to do in what order

list of people to notify with phone numbers

list of other immediate things to do: secure car, secure house, contact insurers etc

list of bank accounts

copy of the will

copy of the health and welfare LPA together with access code info (this will obviously end at death but may be needed just before)

death certificate of first parent (will be needed to release second will as proof of missing executor)

...and a document cheekily titled 'where the bodies are' - which I did check before the event but was very useful at the time.

I've produced a similar one for myself.
