This encrypted file can be left on a webserver safely. Encode the passphrase using ssss[1] and then share the parts around people you trust. Instruct these people to never all travel in the same car together. When you die, one of them has to be technically competent enough to reconstruct the original passphrase from the parts and then decrypt the instructions and the passphrase. The nice thing about this method is that you can keep updating the encrypted file without needing to contact all the people every time. Iain.
