This is a solution looking for a problem. Writing a will allows you to settle your financial affairs as well (or at least try). You can attach a message to your will and it's much less likely to be sent out in error. What I'd like to see is some way of easily granting access to your online accounts (eg gmail, facebook, flickr) linked to a will. You could keep all your passwords in an encrypted keychain that's synced with an online service and store a master password in your will. That way relatives and friends would be able to access all the stuff that used to be in hard copy letters, diaries and photos.
