I'm not a lawyer, but from my experience with family that have died. If you have a written will you can determine who gets the rights to your images. If you don't have a will, then your stuff usually goes to your spouse and/or children. If you don't have any heirs, then it's up to to the courts to decide what happens to it. If it's important to you, make a will. There are plenty of inexpensive resources for doing it and it could save your family some hassle after you're gone.
