Which leads me to wonder...
If I am dead, Adsense money keeps coming into my bank account, but at what point does the bank say
"Hold on - this guy is dead stop sending money to him".
Also - if my bank account is shut, does the Adsense money keep accruing until the my dependants work out how to change the bank account details on my Adsense account?
I guess it does...
Let me have a quick look on Google...

Found this on a (ahem) rival forum from "AdsenseAdvisor" :-
"We get quite a few emails about this issue, from both publishers and their surviving relatives. Different people choose to deal with the adsense accounts of deceased publishers in different ways. It's always good to have a plan, but we understand that many people don't. While I can't offer you a "right" answer to the question, know that the team is extremely sensitive to these situations and will work with publishers and their survivors to make sure everything is resolved as smoothly and comfortably as possible."
But I guess it would do no harm to leave a document to your kin with *all* the details of all your accounts in it!
