Google actually has a form of this, called Inactive Account Manager. You can pick an amount of time and who you want to control your information when you die (or go into a coma?). Pretty awesome, I set mine up already.

https://www.google.com/settings/account/inactive‎



Your link seems to have some hidden chars at the end, which is why it's not working (for me, atleast). Here's the link without the extra chars - https://www.google.com/settings/account/inactive


Hmm very strange! All I did was copy/paste, oh well. Thanks for the working link, hope people take advantage of it.


Thank you this. I didn't know about this feature. I'm glad my wife could now get access to all of my email, contacts and photos once I'm gone.
