I hate to say it, but the court order does make sense to a degree. Or at
least some sort of proof of death. The issue is, abusers (spousal or
parental) can try to claim the user is dead to get access to
private/personal accounts. Some sort of list of passwords should be created
though, especially if you're aware that you're dying. I would advise pen
and paper versions of passwords for security reasons.
