I wouldn't suppose that people are required to inform steam that they're dead. Therefore, I'd assume the easiest way to bequeath games/DLCs, etc, is to get a wishlist from your loved ones, and then gift all of those games prior to death on a credit card that you might not be able to pay, due to being dead. Steam gets the money, the CC company gets shafted. Alternately, share your credit card details with a loved one and that list, and have them order within hours of your death (this depends on whether or not you were plausibly alive when those CC transactions took place)

I would just give them the username and password of my account, then they can enjoy tomb raider 3 or something.

And if they don't want to always use that specific account, they can set it up for family sharing

Surely debts are taken from your estate?

Simply have no estate and it's all wins!
