Death of a family member

It seems from reading all these posts that microsoft will not let family access computers or various devices of someone thats passed by helping them with microsoft live passwords saying the users agreed that no one could access there account ect ect

Couldn't there be added an additional ticked box that could be added mentioning access for family after death you could tick so this process could be decided on by individuals instead of microsoft selling a product and if you buy it means you automatically
say no one can access my info even after death?

 

broken "family member needs to sign in"

Parental controls stopped working. Family.Microsoft.com has alert: "Your family member needs to sign in to their Windows 10 device AngLaptop2014 for family features to work.

But the "how to fix this" says

• Select Accounts > Family & other people
• Under Your family, select your family member, then select Allow
• Have your family member sign in with their Microsoft account if asked to

And the steps don't apply. The account is already allowed, and there is no option to change that.

Now what???
