Best Mac-friendly software to organize personal info for my spouse

I’m making a folder for my spouse in the event of my unexpected death. It contains identity and documents; subscriptions; financial details. It’s in an Excel spreadsheet. It’s messy/awkward/clumsy. I’d like to make it easy to (1) update; (2) display; (3) interrogate. The end user is less tech savvy than I. Ours is an Apple-only household.

What software might I look at?

If I get this right I would make a file for the spouse for me to use!

Hi Chattanoogan, (Sorry for the link. I kept misspelling.)

I've been rereading the posts. Until yours, I wasn’t aware of Security key for Apple Accounts. What a clever idea. I could give that to Trusted young Mac-savvy adult / accountant / financial advisor.

John, I smiled when you said 'first gear'. Neighbour, 20y, at edge of conversation: “Whaddya mean, 2nd gear? It's D or R or P!”
