Custodians and letters of instruction
In case of your death or incapacity, you will need to make arrangements to provide someone with the ability to access your Emmortality account. Otherwise, it may be a long time before anyone can see any of it (the default now is 100 years). An obvious way would be to give the information to a trusted relative or friend. Just to be on the safe side, you should probably do this with more than one person. A safe deposit box is another good alternative.
The most important thing that needs to be conveyed to your designated custodian(s) is letters of instruction detailing what to do and how to do it. This will obviously include the needed password(s) for your Emmortality account, but it should also include instructions on how to declare you officially deceased (for the purposes of Emmortality).
Another option is to include the necessary instructions in your Last Will and Testament. Alternatively, you could put a letter of instruction in the custody of an attorney or other agent. But the main thing is not to just let it slide. While everything you post on Emmortality will eventually be available to the world, unless you take steps to prevent it, that access will not occur for as much as a century. Who knows what benefit might be prevented by making the world wait so long.
