Google has launched what they are calling the "Inactive Account Manager" (accessible from your Google Account settings page) to provide a way to tell Google what you want done with your digital assets when you die or can no longer use your account.

This is a cool feature. I want to set mine up but am still a little leery. I mean, I log in to Google every single day, multiple times a day (if it counts Android access then it's like every 10 minutes). But I still worry that somehow I'll miss the reminder that they send and somehow not log in for the 3 months (you can pick 6 or 12 months also) and all my stuff will get distributed.
