I'm with you. The whole time I was reading the copy on the site, I kept thinking "What's wrong with a normal will and a lawyer?" Even crypto can be handled via a will if you're smart about it.
I have a document that contains all of our subscriptions, our key information, contacts, last will, etc, that I update monthly, put on a thumb drive, and hide in a place my wife knows. I can't encrypt it because she isn't tech savvy enough, but physical obscurity is enough for me. I encrypt the copy on my PC. I also print out a copy and have it in our lockbox.
In addition, we have a shared password manager with a Yubikey that she has access to for MFA, and she knows the password.
If we both die at the same time, one of my close friends knows where all of this is and can provide to the lawyer handling our kids provenance.
I don't have much crypto because I think it's by and large a scam market, but it's on a drive that is described in the document on the USB.
At the end of the day, the things that are important to me are written down as physical copies. We print off photos and put them in photo books. My favorite music is on CDs.
All that said, I see the real benefit in a service like this for the older generation like my in-laws. I've had multiple conversations with him about the passwords to all their online accounts and all their critical information, and all their passwords are just stored in his Google Chrome password manager. My MIL doesn't know the password to his Chrome account. If he dies first, she's going to have a helluva time getting access to everything. So if he could sign up to a service like this that we could trust, it would be immensely helpful.
