Something along the same lines was discussed in another forum where I am a member. It got me thinking about all my cyber friends in the different forums where i belong and how to let them know something happened to me. This has already been a situation with me three years ago when I had a very serious gall bladder infection that had me in the hospital for two weeks and in a three month recovery period when i wanted nothing to do with anything.

What I did to remedy the problem was to use 3 x 5 cards with the forum name, the URL, my cyber name and password into the forum. I also put the head moderator (if I know who it is) with contact information. It took me a while to get some of the information as I use Firefox and have most of the forums set up to remember the password. I then let three family members know where the file box is should anything happen to me. (They think I am a little nuts about this, but it does put my mind at ease.) The 3x5 also allow for easy updating of forums that i either op out of or join.

As for who gets what when a person dies, in Michigan, the spouse gets it all (bills included). No spouse, it goes to the children. And if no spouse or children, it goes to the next of kin, ie siblings, then nieces and nephews, and so on. Hoever if you have a will, you can leave what ever you want to who ever you want, including all of your estate to the cat!
