2. My Documents
What I own and where it is kept
The death of a close family member or friend is always
a traumatic time for those left behind. It is often
made more difficult for those relatives or friends
who have been asked to be executors and handle the
estate, because they often have difficulty in finding
key documents and other important information that
belonged to the deceased.
Important things like theWill, share certificates, bank
account details and life assurance plans all need to be
accessible shortly after death.
Quite apart from making the job harder for the
executors, it is possible that some assets may go
undetected. For example, you may have a paid-up life
assurance plan – in other words,a plan where there are
no more premiums payable, but which still provides
benefits. If the plan documentation has been lost, or
is hidden away somewhere, how will the executors
know?
Insurance companies hold approximately £400 million
of unclaimed monies in life assurance and pension plans
that belong to planholders†
, the vast majority of whom
will have died.Their families have no knowledge of the
plan and so the money will be lost to them.
The position is similar with UK banks.There is over £1
billionofunclaimedmoniesheldbyNationalSavingsand
Investments (excluding premium bonds) for missing
accountholders†
.Althoughthebanksandotherfinancial
institutions do their utmost to trace account holders
and repay this, a significant amount of client funds
lie unclaimed.
Clearly, you can make it much easier if your affairs are
in good order and your family or friends don’t have
to search high and low for documents that they don’t
even know exist.
It also means that your heirs will receive the full
inheritance that you intended for them more quickly
than if someone has to search for assets.
St. James’s Place Checklist
To help you do this, we have created the St. James’s
Place Asset Checklist. This will enable you to keep
track of all your assets and, specifically, to let your
family know where they are kept.
We have also included a Key Contacts Checklist
which enables you to list the details of your important
advisers,suchasyoursolicitor,accountantandfinancial
adviser.
Once you have completed the checklist, take a copy
for key members of your family.
In addition, the following websites may be of help to

the nil rate band, where any part of it was unused, from the spouse or civil partner who died first. The following

Your Will is an important document containing instructions about how you want your estate to be administered after
