Have a lawyer and a will.



That or just have a service setup to monitor a Twitter feed for updates. So in the case of Robert Scoble, more than 2 hours and he's probably dead!


But why would I pay $500 once to get something done right when I could pay $10 every month to get something that will almost certainly fold before I do?

(Although that does leave me with one practical issue: if I go to my trustworthy small town lawyer tomorrow and say "Hiya Taro [he's not Bob -- Bobs are quite rare in these parts], in the event that I pass away suddenly, I'd like you to take care of my final affairs as I'm about to instruct you:", and Taro gets hit by a bus, what happens to my plan? Should I be asking my lawyers "But before I give you my business can I ask you a little more about your business continuity contingency planning? How about we start with your bus number?")


Indeed. Supposing you are 30, what are the odds that the company will outlast you? Very, very poor, IMHO.
