David....I thought I said that.....if it is unreasonable for a person coded "private' and living if born prior to a certain year....they sould be made 'public'
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Justin's idea also has merit....(the only problem I see with that, in a lot of cases, the volume of profiles would be too large for 1 person to handle)....and besides, you could provide for that scenario by designating an administrator...couldn't you?)
But LOIS and ALEX.....I do NOT want management of your parents (even if they are truly 100 years old), or your siblings, or niece's or nephew's, or aunt's and uncle's......
Perhaps a codicil to the WILL that says "if I go missing for 6 months/9 months....that I authorize my administrator to contact "Newspaper Archives" or whomever to check for 'obits' and try to contact the nearest living relative that IS public to determine whether the person IS/IS NOT deceased...and proceed from there..."
If not deceased...then they would be deemed abandaned and come under the authority of the WILL.
Is that any better?
