1Password emergency kits are a way of achieving this. They allow you to provide a third party with all the details they need to access your passwords. It's therefore highly recommended to keep these kits at a safe location only trusted parties can access in case of an emergency. You can also opt to keep your master password in a separate location or with a separate party, which precludes a single party from gaining access outright. One could even envision combining it with something like Google's Inactive Account Manager (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en ) to implement a dead man's switch by having an email sent on your behalf after a set period of inactivity. I wouldn't want to trust them with my master password in plain text, though, which would defeat the purpose.
