There's already a service out there for such a provision - Dead Man's Switch.

You can sign up for it, for free - and it will check periodically (through emails with a link that needs to be clicked) if you're still alive. If it's not, it sends emails (that you've written) to addresses (that you select) - and thus you can add all of that vital info in there and have it be sent if you're apparently dead.

But yes - it's a very interesting question, and for me the answer is simple: communication.
