What of your digital estate?

Now most of us don't think much of dying, but here's an interesting question: what will happen to your online data if you die?

Yahoo is apparently refusing to grant access by family members of a deceased person to their email. The individual died young (possibly while fighting in Iraq) and didn't leave his passwords behind.

Of course the best solution is to have an email account that lets you archive all your data to disk.
