>> Have you ever thought about what happens if you suddenly stop breathing?
Yes.
>> How will your family know where your important information is stored?
All essential docs are in a cupboard. The family knows where it is. And it's easy enough to find if someone ended up having to search.
>> would like to know if you will use or not
I would not. I would need to create a place to instruct people on how to use it, how to find it, what passwords to use, and so on. That's more work, and objectively impossible for people to "find".
In other words, I wouldn't use the site because it doesn't solve a problem I have, and would create a problem I don't have. So it's not for me.
Yes.

I wish you well in your endeavors though.
