If they don’t have access to your password- or biometric-protected EMAIL, they may not ever receive anything to trigger them to seek possession of it. Mailed paper statements serve as notifications to your heirs.

OK great info so far, so let me ask the next question. For those of you that use paperless payments, are all of these like ACH, where it gets paid with NO INTERVENTION by you, or are these a hold for approval before the bank pays. I have been burned by the first and only want the second.

On something like that, I don’t want auto deduct. I wanna see a paper bill showing the four different balances.
