According to the Google Inactive Account support page, they aren't actually assuming the account, they're just getting access to the data. So, presumably, they'd just download the data and that would be it.

(That's not to say there aren't other concerning reasons why that data may not be accessible.)

That is lovely to know about. I was only aware of the dead mans switch feature which deletes data after a period of time.
