You should consider leaving a digital legacy to your families...

The New Zealand Law Society has come out and advised the general public to give consideration to making a digital legacy to their families. This advice has relevance to other countries as well. The American Law Society or its equivalent may well advise Americans to do the same.
A digital legacy would enable a family to access the digital information of their dearly departed and to act on their wishes. There may well be emails, photos, documents, web site urls that could be made available to the right people, or a request to delete and destroy information held digitally.
The Law Society said while it would be helpful to keep a record of passwords in a safe place, the utmost secrecy should be maintained to protect online bank account information.
Since writing this post I was informed of a Pro system called 'Roboform' which can be trialed free and purchased to store information, make log-ins to your websites, not have to remember passwords, and the strongest encryptions available. All you have to remember is your password to Roboform.
A good idea no doubt, but I would not want everything tied up with a Pro system that could crash in the future.
