Some things are well regulated in Switzerland, others are not. If I were to die, I would have a large part already settled. What worries me again and is a huge issue is the digital estate. What happens to my wallets (lost?), my photos (almost a film of life) and files (cloud). Plus social media et al. I haven't sorted that out yet. I'm leaning towards bank box with passwords and "instruction manual". What do you think?

@Andimoneych Either let the heir(s) in on everything beforehand. Or as you said. Depends on the situation, of course. Provided you trust those, for example children etc, a combination of both is likely to be appropriate.

@tim1 Makes perfect sense. When you get to a certain age, you definitely cut back or carry over certain things. Hopefully in the next 50 years I'll still be alive, I'm just assuming if something sudden happens. Of course, a locked letter in the apartment is also a good solution. But can also be manipulated more easily in the worst case.

@Andimoneych perhaps include it in the will. As a rule, this should be sealed.

@Andimoneych at least with Apple, to help a family member recover access to iCloud (including photos) after a loved one's passing, they can follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102431
Hope it helps!
