Receiving financial paperwork and bills online

[firecat]

Do you choose online delivery for bills and financial paperwork?

If so, what arrangements do you have set up for having those bills paid and that paperwork reviewed if you have a long illness and can't do it yourself? Or if you die?

This message brought to you by Wells Fargo, which informed me when I logged on today that it had changed my statement delivery option to "online only." I was able to change it back, but it pissed me off that they did it in an "opt out" manner like that.

I don't LIKE paperwork and would prefer to use online delivery for such things, but even though I would trust my partners to take good care of me if I got sick, that doesn't mean I want to give them full access to my email.

I guess I'll have to set up a separate account for billing, but I really resent it, because that means I have to remember to look at another account.

Good advice about the will and the lock box. I have them but I only set them up earlier this year.

Depending on the separate account you might be able to have it forward all incoming mail to your regular email address. Then you'll get everything in your usual space but have a separate space that your loved ones can access if needed.
