My Fastmail password is only stored in my memory. Also, if one puts such info in a document somewhere, that document needs maintenance, because passwords change. having separate methods for the purpose of transferring control of accounts to heirs after death would be better than just making lists of account credentials available to heirs.
Lastpass has an 'emergency access' feature that grants a trusted person access your Lastpass vault if
  1. they attempt access (after you've informed them about it of course) AND
  2. you don't reject that access attempt within a set time limit (eg a few days)

Bitwarden has a similar feature on their to-do list.
