In fact I am more afraid about "moral pressure" from close friends. The existance of Criorus is well known to public by many TV shows. Of course one day authority could come and ask them - where is the documents? But in her will is said that she donate her brain for scintific study, this is legal.

If it is in her will, then she is probably safe enough. I do understand your wanting to hide the fact from her friends. Being a member of one of the first few generations to be frozen, she is a pioneer in cryonics, and acceptance is always tough for pioneers. In this case however, the pioneers might just live to see a world where people are actually thankful for what they did.
