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.

I agree. If I want to leave my physical books to someone I can do that so why not access to my digital books as well? As far as changing data on an account I'd have to do that myself if I lost my bank card or it was stolen so what is the difference between having my account info. on the account I have at Kobo, Amazon, etc. and that of my heirs? In essence I'd have my books in a locked library cabinet and would just be leaving person x the key (account name and password) so that they could have access after I'm gone.
