Short Answer No, you cannot leave a way for your family to pick up on your information. I would suggest you give the young ones information on your family as far as the living and deceased people are concerned so they can update FamilySearch when and if you die.. They can pick up, but not on the living relations, just the deceased. Let them know what you have done. In essence you cannot, ahead of time, list yourself as deceased. I realize this can get quite confusing. I and my husband are also in our 70's and sometimes have this same question. 75 is young - or so I hope!!
Please let me know if I can help your further.

Happy Birthday! I hope you are having a phenomenal day!
Just a thought, you could leave them your log in and password and a set of instructions.

It seems like this is a continuation to a prior question/conversation.
and Im not sure what that was. . .
BUT There are MANY ways that we can preserve our family history and family records for the generations to come!!
Here are a few links and I will provide more.

tell us more about your records (not just that which is in FamilySearch) - but your records in general that you want to pass on to future generations. We can provide many options on how you can preserve them for generations to come. That is the purpose of FamilySearch - preserving records for the generations to come.

Here is another discussion of being able to access records for people even after they are deceased.

This "Question" (ie. matter) has been discussed and debated at length, many times, over the years, in the former 'FamilySearch' ("Get Satisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum, now the (New) "IDEAS" Forum.
.
There is CURRENTLY no mechanism in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' for Users/Patrons, to "Share"; or, "give permission" to "Share", the "Living" individuals/persons in their own "Private Spaces" with/between other/another User/Patron. That includes "Memories" for those "Living" individuals/person; especially, if they are marked a "Private".
.
There are a myriad of "Privacy" Laws within the many various Countries and Unions throughout the World - it is a nightmare to negotiate.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is used in many Countries and Unions throughout the World; and, as such, must adhere to the myriad of "Privacy" Laws throughout the World.
.
Hence, "Privacy" is one of the reasons that we cannot "Share" the "Living" individuals/persons in our own "Private Spaces" (including "Memories") - it is NOT the ONLY reason; but, certainly has a bearing on the matter.
.
Another factor is that such would have to be 'Coded'/'Programmed' into the Programme that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
From what I can recall from the former 'FamilySearch' ("Get Satisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum, 'FamilySearch' is CURRENTLY exploring alternatives and possibilities for future implementation (eg. such as, "Inheritance"; and/or, "Bequeathing"), of ones 'FamilySearch' Account when one dies/passes away.
.
But, alas, that would be some time in the future; possibly, even in the near future - there are a lot of variables ...
.
As an aside ...
.
You could search the (New) "IDEAS" Forum; as, it contains a 'Static' record of the OLD posts in the former 'FamilySearch' ("Get Satisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum.

Where in this guy's question does he say he is strictly talking about FamilySearch records for living persons????
or is he simply asking about how he can pass on his family records & family research (for both living and deceased) to future generations?
Am I missing something?
There are plenty of ways we/he can preserve our family records (for both living and deceased) both inside and outside of FS.
