It's perfectly possible to <em>not</em> trust someone while you're alive, yet still want then to inherit stuff from your private files after you die. In the article I linked to Cory points out that he really doesn't trust his daughter, yet. Also, your loved one could be forced or tricked into giving up the password. Limiting their knowledge is not a matter of trust, but protection. It’s not quite as simple as that.

If you can trust people while you're alive, you can tell them the password to use when you're dead. If you can't, you're doing it wrong. What is a person supposed to say to this?

If you can trust people while you’re alive, you can tell them the password to use when you’re dead.

If you can’t, you’re doing it wrong.
