From you comment about cheques it sounds as if storing the info in a paper notebook would suffice for your needs.

Oh…I've seen far worse than this sort of thing when it comes to keeping financial details and assets lists up to date.

Will left a rental property to a charity. Sometime later the will writer became do-ally and carers and POA's took over.No one seemingly knew the will's contents. To pay for care rental property was sold. Some (very many) years later they died and of course the rental property is no longer in their estate/assets and there was no provision for any alternative monetary gift to the chairty in the will, the bequest fails totally and the Charity got nothing at all.

The simplest method of sharing that kind of info: Write it into a document, print it off, put it in a filing cabinet and tell family members where it is.

It's not going to get lost, or fade, it can't get hacked.

The obvious downside is that the person has to come to your house to get the document - but if you've dropped dead then that inconvenience is probably already on the table.
