IB does not send out monthly PAPER statement, what if some thing happens to you?

I would just print out a statement once a year and keep in a secure location with username and password. Put all your other documents here also. Printing out your own statements is way more secure than having them mailed to you.
Brother dabao,
Eliminate your paranoia and unresolved afterlife issues right now and forever. Simple post your account number, password and bank wiring details in this thread.
If you suddenly stop posting, we will make sure your funds are disposed off properly and in a timely manner...no need to worry, we are all your trading buddies.
It's called estate planning. If you had any real assets to protect, you would have known this.
Don't worry about your little piker accounts, they will find their way to probate court in no time.
Ignorance is not an answer. Do some homework.

If you do not know how to print out regular statements and keep it together with all your papers in a place a loved one can find than I imagine your affiars are in a horrid state and you dying is the least of your concerns.
What if you die and you do not tell anyone? How will they know your dead if you do not mail them a letter letting them know where you died..
If he provides his username and password I'll mail him a monthly statement for under $100 a month (PM me for the exact rate). I'll even throw in the yearly statement for free. And if you're one of the first 100 messages I receive, I'll sign you up on prison dating mailing lists for free!!!! You really can't beat this deal ...
