In all cases, facilitated if changing an address first.
I've created a master list of accounts/account access info so that the dear to me can use the miles/points I've acquired as deemed appropriate for the circumstances applicable in the event of the inevitable.
Three thoughts:
1) Wow! Very nice list. Frightening level of planning, but still very nice.
2) I wonder how it would go over if asked, "how much did you pay for this flight" and you responded, "my dead grandmother used her miles for me".
3) Knowing your love for Delta, wouldn't you consider your intended donation of DL miles more like torturing a relative from the grave rather than being kind to them?
