There was a thread a while ago asking how our online friends would know if we were not just having a rest from posting, but had died. Google have added another to the choices on Google accounts, which include saying who should be notified:-
"What should happen to your photos, emails and documents when you stop using your account? Google puts you in control.
You might want your data to be shared with a trusted friend or family member, or, you might want your account to be deleted entirely. There are many situations that might prevent you from accessing or using your Google account. Whatever the reason, we give you the option of deciding what happens to your data.
Using Inactive Account Manager, you can decide if and when your account is treated as inactive, what happens with your data and who is notified."

And there is a website devoted to questions like that;-
