      Exactly. This is why you can’t tie property ownership to life and death, because then you’re simply creating a business incentive to seeing that people with valuable property die.

      So to solve that, instead of tying the property to a specific person’s lifetime, you tie it to a generic estimation of human lifetime (say 80-110 years, optimistically), and that brings us right back to where we are.
