    Your relatives inherit the inbox and they decide what should happen. Often they ignore or close the account. Other times they will respond and let people know.

    • legally maybe, but most often relatives don't know that accounts necessarily exist, or they might know they exist, but not how to access them.
       
      they may purposefully ignore the account, or close it out, but most often, relatives just don't know, and the account either shuts down from lack of use, or if it's on a server that doesn't care about lack of use, stays there, in perpetuity, until something changes with the server
