Its not wildly different from a will though, there are often multiple wills that change over time.

I dont think its as complex as you think, there is no need to version or distribute anything. You simply tell your loved ones: "In my filing cabinet/bookshelf/firesafe/wherever, there is an printout/dvd/holocube with all my passwords in case I die". Then whenever you feel like updating it, you create a new one, and destroy the old one. No versions, no distribution beyond the knowledge of its existence.

Its not going to be easy dealing with the death of a loved one, but I dont see how this could possible be any easier. Plaintext passwords couldn't be more simple.
