I had exactly this issue before, an I blame overthinking things. Trying to put in place a system where none is needed.

I ended up with a box, in the box there are large plastic envelopes, and each envelope is labelled.

I have:

- "assets" (cars, warrantees, service records, purchase invoices etc)

- "health" (all medical related things)

- "insurance" (everything insurance related)

- "guns" (I like guns... so licenses, legal paperwork, etc etc)

The best thing is, this is a box. So worst case, even if I misfiled something, all I need to do is rifle through a box. The box is portable and universal, and if my wife needs something, I can easily guide her to where to find it.
