I set up a Dead Man's Switch. It sends me an email with a link every day. If I click it, I acknowledge that I am alive and nothing happens. If I do not, after a grace period and more reminders, it sends an email to my wife with a password-protected file. I have listed all our accounts, passwords, assets, etc., along with instructions on what to do and whom to ask for help.
Disclaimer: I sell digital legacy products. However, I also honestly use them, and some of these tools I distribute for free and have made open-source.

Wow, why every day and not weekly? Every day seems too frequent.
I also thought that, but I like it this way. It supports weekly checks as well.
You better watch out for is 2FA, sometimes even with passwords people still get locked out, so backup codes can help.
I want to know too, mine is using pure iCloud
hard disk from the 90s
