You can write your own will if you are a non-muslim without the need for any 3rd party, except for the 2 witnesses. Read this and also this as your starting point

After that just keep it in a safe place. I think that is where the issue lies, not with the actual writing of the will. Someone must know that you do have a will written, for it to be implemented.

zip everything up in a long enough encryption password like 90 characters....

then give 30 to sibling 1 , 30sibling 2 and the last 30 to sibling 3.

is only when the 3 come together are they able to access your info...

Hypothetical.... what if you and a sibling both pass on while in the same car wreck? Everything gone forever?

The will is allowed by law to be written by the individual, but I always say the passing on of the information is the issue that has to be figured out
- write a will and keep in the house? What if the house burns down with you in it?
- keep specific information in the cloud? Legality of e-will and passwords to access
- keep will with lawyer/will writing agency? Family must know to contact the correct firm after death
- pass on multiple copies to few people? legality, and must keep track of multiple copies
- give someone/multiple people master password? password changes how?

Don't get me wrong, I also am thinking of how to solve this problem. That's why following this thread for ideas. Right now I have the single copy at home, but I think I am going tp be giving another copy to a trusted friend (who is not a beneficiary) and having a second copy around in case of my passing.

Google allows setup of death mans switch... if one year no access account can setup to email info or passwords to someone else email account if you want...

You're correct. But the timing of the Letter of Administration/Grant of Probate will then be affected, as the information will only come out after 1 year. Not to mention your estate may already be disbursed, and then suddenly after one year it is found out that you actually have a will. I think you are on the right track though... maybe make it 3 months time interval

you can set this if you dont want to disburse using the LA or grant of probate method...

Apologize if you are meaning something else, but the LA or GP is not a "method"; the next-of-kin must have a LA/GP* before they can begin to do anything to your assets. It's basically the High Court saying "yup, he ded, can start sharing the loot"
The issue I see is that the court may issue LP/GP before my wishes come out from the dead-man's-switch in Google, and by that time my assets may already start to be shared.

*Letter of Administration, if you do not have a will
*Grant of Probate, if you do have a will
