Copyrights are property. You have the right to dispose of your property as you wish upon your death. You specify the disposition in your will. If you so desired, you could explicitly dedicate the rights on your work to the public domain upon your death. That wouldn't prevent people from potentially profiting on it, but it would make it available to anyone who wanted it.
