Depends on how organized and secure your physical properties and possessions are. If you've got creepy housemates or relatives, who might dig through your obviously-personal stuff? Yeah, that makes everything 100X harder. But they might also try an Evil Maid Attack, to get your online stuff.

Do you have any trusted, well-organized relative or friend with a decently secure property?

Do local banking regulations allow for access to safe deposit boxes when the owner is not present or deceased?

Could you park the documents in a manila envelope, in the secure file cabinets of the lawyer who drafted your will?

And if you're an Epic-level Ditz, who might (say) accidentally throw $700M of bitcoin in the trash? At some point, you need to have a competent person handle your affairs for you.
