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
Anyone can report a member's passing; LinkedIn will memorialize or close the profile and remove it from active use.

LinkedIn can turn the profile into a memorial — content stays visible, but no one can log in.
The official page
Policies and forms change — this is the platform's own current help page.
