That's what I've done, electronically of course, along with account details and how to reach them.
And consolidated stuff into many fewer accounts than had built up over the years. It's an ongoing task to some extent.
Then there is the less important stuff, where you've paid a renewing sub to something (for me, Private Eye and CAMRA spring to mind, but also I have a car servicing agreement), or pay by standing order (car insurance, TV licence, charity contributions etc) I suppose many of those would lapse if they weren't able to collect the annual standing order and I'm sure they'd all have a process in place anyway.
You could also consider websites where you are storing any info which may still be required or of interest after your passing e.g. my ancestry.com account has our family tree on it which my daughter has spent a considerable amount of time researching (days and days of effort over a long period, with input from other parts of the family), and I used to rely somewhat on Google's free photo service for backups of my pics.
Also some thought as to what happens with social media accounts (and maybe email) when you die. I initially found it a bit of a shocker (and assumed it was an oversight) when I got a reminder from FB that it was my mate's birthday when we'd buried him 8 months before, but I understand some relatives like to keep the page going as a memento.
