“Revival Trust”

This reminded me of Matt Groening’s show “Futurama” . . . Bloomberg did a big story on an emerging trend called “revival trusts.” They’re for people who want to be cryogenically frozen when they die, and don’t want to wake up POOR. So instead of leaving their money to a loved one or a charity, they KEEP their fortune after death. Financial planners are trying to figure out how to preserve your wealth, as well as your body. You can’t leave yourself money when you die, and most states have limits on how long trust funds can last. The first thing they’re worried about is having enough money to cover the thawing-out process (whatever that may be), AND having enough money to still be “rich”. And are you even the same person when they thaw out your brain?
