Access to my PC will die with me (or if I become unable to get into it 
myself) (unless there's been some very intrusive surveillance going on).

This may be a nuisance, but the alternatives seem to me worse.  There's 
enough paper around to identify the third parties who know what the 
assets are; the liabilities will find their own way home.
