Real life already has a service for this. They are called lawyers. They can keep your records on file, you know who they are, they have legal responsibility to keep everything confidential, and when you die... things just work.

I guess this would work for more casual documents, passwords to facebook, whatever. I have a document printed out and kept in our file cabinet for such things, so I would not use this service, but I can see where other people might.

You ring your lawyer when you update your passwords?

[pomnia]

Yes, lawyers ... good or nothing for those. Thing is, your friends and family must know where that document is and then who gets to read it first?

[codingdave]

Yeah, no system is perfect. If your will cannot be found, that is a problem. Of course, digital documents won't be notarized, so that is also a problem.

Your service has some use cases... but please do not tell me you seriously expect it to replace lawyers when it comes to managing one's estate.

Simply add to your will "My Facebook account goes to my mother."

What about passwords and such? How do you handle it when it comes to will?
