I believe no one ever thinks about this but what will happen to your accounts if you die right now?
When you are dealing with offline world stuff you have lawyers you have people that will be more than happy to get your money and also possession of your accounts.
The problem is that when it comes to online world the same thing cannot happen.
First because the companies cannot see your password. They can only see your user name and then they can delete your account, but they cannot change the password or even get it to reveal to someone related to you.
The first thing you need to do is to save your master password, the one that protects your online account where you save all your other passwords, in a Flash Drive that will be in a safe place where no one knows.
That place should be somewhere out of your home, office or any other familiar place. It can be in a post office or even in a bank, somewhere that is not very expensive and easy to afford.
The second thing you need to do is to write your Last Will and to include the key with it. The paper should tell who will be able to use the key and where the key is to be used.
This way that person will be able to successfully close all your accounts and then you can finally rest in peace!
What can happen if you die before you give your passwords to a trusted person?
First you will continue to be billed, you will be paying for something you are not using anymore such as business email, web hosting, magazines, services, products and much more.
If your family pays for it, you will be billed for something you did not use or do.
If they do not pay for it, your family will be in serious trouble.

“If they do not pay for it, your family will be in serious trouble.”
This is not true, If you do not pay, the internet companies will terminate your accounts. It is against the law to try to attempt to make family members pay your bill after you are deceased.
