I don't really see why it should be any different than physical property in that regard. Is any judge in the land going to enforce the destruction of physical property simply because someone indicated that's what they wanted to happen in their will?

Just like with physical property, you're still very much at the mercy of your executor/family as to how closely your instructions are actually followed.

I see this as a huge step in the right direction. Much better than having no hope whatsoever that your wishes for the handling of your digital assets are honored upon your death.
