After death with Google

Google on Thursday began letting people plan out what is to be done with their digital photos, documents and other virtual belongings after they die or become incapacitated.
 
I think this is great.
At present, we have had to include and maintain our Google account details in a Death Envelope (Which everybody should have, BTW) for a husband, wife or immediate family in the event of our death, along with instructions for what needs to be done with each account.

Being able to electronically set up and manage credentialled individuals who have rights to manage my accounts in the event of my death is great. Now if only LastPass would allow me to set up this same kind of thing on my vault, I would be completely sorted. Thank you Google.
