Handing Down Data:

A. Getting Other's Account Data:

If one passes away, then contact the site, informing them of this issue. Here is where you would go for Apple: How to Request Access to a Deceased Family Member's Apple Account - Apple Support

IMPORTANT:

B. Keep a Backup:

If a must, keep a journal to have a backup of this info on an external drive. Store it in a safe place, and update it whenever changes are made. Go here, and in step 5, chose the external hard drive as the source: (Mac or Windows)
