Can you plan ahead?
There's no built-in tool to plan ahead — the best step is to list this account in your inventory and note what should happen to it.
After a death
Notify AT&T with a death certificate to close or transfer the line — do this thoughtfully, since the number often receives login and 2-factor codes.
