I had asked during a call to Ancestry about what happens in the event I
would die. Their only suggestion was to make sure someone (family or other)
had my account name and password, and that my websites would be kind of
"inherited by" whomever I instructed. This wasn't in a formal manner with
Ancestry, just between me and the person I designated.

Ancestry doesn't appear to have a formal policy in place for death of
webmaster.
