Personally, being an Atheist and currently having no family of my own - I do
not worry myself with what would happen after my death. I certainly wouldn't
care anymore and my parents probably wouldn't care if my facebook isn't
updated. Everything I have will probably expire after a fashion, some stuff
is on auto-payment and would expire when my relatives get a hold of my
assets and stop it.

I have one family domain, which is hosted on godaddy and my family use for
email. I guess they'll have to hash it out with godaddy or the domain
provider I would move it to after it expires (I did godaddy when they were
still considered good and registered for 10 years in advance...) but it
would be their problem and I'm pretty sure they will be someone technical
enough to fax them my death certificate and get a hold of the account. All
that considering they are still alive and caring. One of my brothers
perhaps.

I definitely don't care enough about my on-line presence when I die. Do you?
If someone else does, it's up to them to back it up and maintain it. Not my
problem any more :)
