Thank you for that note with death :D

Do you practice Shamir Secret Sharing with your relatives?

I think it might be too difficult for mine to use as I did not find a nice gui or something for it.

No. But you asked if there was a possible system to allow such (implying that you simply don't want to give one other your master password). I answered with one system I know of.

They don't need a GUI as long as they can be trained (or better, step by step instructions on use provided to follow at such time as is necessary).

The wikipedia page I referenced, in the external links section, points to three implementations. None appear to have GUI's, so that either means:

1) you put together a GUI wrapping one of these for them

2) you put together detailed instructions on how to use one of the three to recover your access credentials when the time arrives.
