To ensure your Ancestry family tree(s) and DNA results are preserved and accessible, even after your death, you can name a "legacy contact" to inherit your account.

While you can only add one person as your legacy contact, that person can be a legacy contact for more than one Ancestry account. The person you choose is not required to have an Ancestry account. Adding a legacy contact is free for all Ancestry members.
