My solution was to get two USB keys, put my backups and a copy of my KeePass file on both, and encrypt them. I keep one USB key with one of my relatives, but not the decryption key. Before I visit them, I update the backups on the key that I have, then when I get there, I swap USB keys to ensure the backups are relatively recent. This also gives me an offsite backup for my data. The decryption key is written on a piece of paper in my safe deposit box, which only I have access to. If I die, then they can have the box drilled and get the decryption key. I told them this ahead of time, so that they'd know what to do.

This is pretty much what I settled on. Trying to do it fully electronic or automated is a lot of complexity and reliance on service providers of dubious reliability and longevity (we joke about the Google Graveyard for a reason).
