Kraken will receive all the juicy dividends and can buy Lambos for their whole crew. Good job son, probably you work for Kraken.
This lead me to ask a serious question now, does anyone have a clue what will happen if somebody dies? What is happening with their ICN? (Let's say they are lying on the Iconomi platform, not on an exchange or a private wallet). Did you think about that already? Is it possible to transfer these ICN to a family member if they can proof that you are dead?
That is why you should keep your ICN on your desktop ETH mist wallet and provide a backup & private keys to your loved ones.
If you keep your ICN on Kraken, they won't pass any Dividends to you, let alone your loved ones.

I know you just want to help, but that didn't answer my questions.
In my opinion, I don't think that many of ICN holders are withdrawing their ICN to a private wallet. Because a big chunk of investors came from fiat money and aren't really familiar with myetherwallets etc. So most of the ICN will stay on the platform. Now what happens when you die and your ICN are still on the platform?
Jani can you give me an answer?
I'm not Jani but I'll like to answer this one.
Answer is very obvious.
What happens to a Gmail account when someone dies? His family members access it if the know they password.
Now, if someone with Bitcoin dies, his successors can access Bitcoins if they have the private key. Else they would lie unused forever.
Same would happen to your icn. I think, you don't need to prove anything to Iconomi team. If you have password you can use it else you can't . ICONOMI team doesn't even know to whom does an account belong unless you have completed KYC.
So, there's no chance for family members to claim icn if the user had not completed KYC.
And there 0.001%
chances of claiming if user had completed KYC.
