Howland Reed was a heavily reliable person to give it to since he knew of Jon's heritage, his place was hard to find


Reed being reliable is the main reason I see little need for him to leave any kind of paper. Ned had no intention of Jon's heritage coming out period, it's not like he was going to try and usurp his buddies crown. He was just trying to keep his sisters child safe, not create a secret heir. There would be no need for paperwork, and Rhaegar would have thought he would be back after the battle, not be writing paperwork for who knows to find. He didn't even have a child when he left, how would he be leaving paperwork about him?

I think Rhaegar certainly would have made out the paperwork just in case. The reason Ned would have the paperwork was through Lyanna's insistence, with Rhaegar as her main signee. Rees may have been reliable to Ned, but hardly the rest of the realm. Signatures needed to be on the document.

Exactly. If Ned ever planned on it coming out, he would have never sent him to wear the black either.
