Merging Family Search IDs of Living People

In the past, I created FS IDs for each of my children and uploaded many photos to each of their Memory tabs under their FS IDs. Since my children are living, the only way they currently can view the FS ID I created for them is by logging into my account on FS. When I am no longer living, how will they be able to access their FS ID and all the photos I've uploaded to it? Can they merge the FS ID I created for them with the FS ID they created for themselves even though they are living?

    We do not currently have a way for users to share the living and confidential people that they add to Family Tree with other users. Nor can you designate an heir who can take it over after death. Each user will need to enter separate records for the same living or confidential persons in order to see these people in their trees. Below is the article with more information. The article on Family Groups may give you some more ideas. Thanks for your post.
