Out of curiosity, what kinds of accounts do you have that are so important that they are worth preserving in the event of your death? I can only think of financial stuff and those already have beneficiaries and whatnot specified when I set them up.

> I can only think of financial stuff and those already have beneficiaries and whatnot specified when I set them up. My financial accounts are probably the main things. I don't know that I have any beneficiary stuff set up on them. I was maybe overly specific in my asking. Basically the thing I am wondering is: What do I need to have in place to make sure my wife / kids have access to my assets, etc. in the event that I die unexpectedly?

  At a minimum, all your important information--including how to access any important online accounts--should probably be stored in a somewhat concealed fireproof box. This would also protect in the event of most fires and other natural disasters.

Social media presences come to mind, especially anonymous ones. I'd like my online friends to know I won't be back. If you have a blog, or otherwise publish, at least a brief announcement there might also be something you'd want to happen. It would make cancelling subscriptions not needed anymore or transferring them to another person much easier I guess.

I'm more worried about my pictures of the kids. A few generations will care about them.

  Print them and collect then in books.
