Yes, and no? I have an envelope with my boyfriend's name on it, in a hollowed out book in my book shelf. In it are the passwords for all of my accounts. He has been instructed that if I die in some freak accident all of my accounts are to be deleted, and no facebook "RIP/In Memory of Jen Costello" group will be created. If it is created by someone outside of my family like a friend or acquaintance they will be asked to take it down out of respect for the dead. Last thing I want when I'm gone is a bunch of people I don't even know or met once at a party saying how much they miss me, and sharing fun/embarrassing times we've had together for my family to read and think badly of me.
It's a big deal to me, because when a close friend of mine died her account was still up. Facebook sends me little ads on the side of the website saying to "reconnect" with her. A RIP page was made and every person who ever met her was talking about this time, that time, remember when we got totally drunk. I felt bad for her and her family reading all of it. I felt sad that people who couldn't bother to talk to her or send her an email every once in a while were suddenly her best friend.
Reason they are in a sealed envelope in a hiding place is so he doesn't have them now. If we ever broke up he couldn't cause problems or post anything out of anger.
