I'm sympathetic for the family, but I'd back Yahoo's position, since they specifically addressed this in their terms of service. It would be nice of Yahoo to offer a checkbox option (off by default) to release account info to someone who has legal power of attorney for the account owner. (E.g. if you pass away, or are in a coma). On the other hand, they're a business, and this wouldn't be a profitable policy...verifying POA requests would take time, and if they screwed up they could be sued.
