wow, I've never thought about this. As people above have mentioned, hiding paper wallets seems to be the way to go. I'd probably give steps on where to find it in my testament.
If bitcoin becomes mainstream we need a good solution for this.

personally I told my family where I keep my paper wallets , of course they can steal it whenever they want 
not sure how to let them access your wallets after your death , maybe thro a lawyer where you can keep your wish after your death or something like that

Let's just say that you have got your bitcoins on a ledger wallet or stored somewhere else. What are the best possibilities to let other people have access to them when something unfortunate happens?
I am looking for an idea but I don't just want to give easy access, they have to work for it like a puzzle. How would you do that?
If you want to receive curse in afterlife better not make it a puzzle lol, simply either write in your will and give it to a lawyer or just keep it in a safe that your family could access when you're gone and if you are afraid they take your coins before you're dead then you should start thinking about your place in such a family.

Create a paper wallet, put it in a bank safety deposit box... yes banks are good for something. The irony should be obvious.

NICE QUESTION!!!
I don't want to reveal how I am personally doing that, or someone will kill me lol
However you should put your wallet.dat file and an instruction video in a common video format like .mp4 on a Micro SD card.
Also PNG images of your public and Private keys.
Make about 50 pairs, so that you have new wallets for future use before you die, but that are still pre-recored onto your Micro SD card will.
Then hide that SD card someplace it will be found by someone you want to find it if you die.
Leave clues, passwords with questions that only your chosen person will know the answer to.
Such as personal memories you and they share.
Allow clear instructions for capitalization and punctuation if necessary. As in none.
