When you die, your property goes into your estate.

It doesn't matter what Amazon or anyone else write in their terms and conditions. They can't override the rights of the beneficiaries.

Of course, they'll be practical difficulties, like the question of passwords. But those don't affect the legal situation.
that's why i have a list of (important) online accounts and passwords in my safety deposit box
