"The inheritance loophole was originally devised for America's 19th-century industrial dynasties, such as the Rockefeller and Carnegie families. Concerned that their fortunes would be consumed by taxes, they created long-term trusts to preserve their estates. Personal revival trusts simply name the deep-frozen corpses as a beneficiaries, treating them, for legal purposes, as unborn grandchildren."

"There are some issues to be addressed with this type of a trust. The common law Rule Against Perpetuities would have prohibited a perpetual trust, except if it is made as a perpetual trust for a charitable purpose. However, many states in the United States have repealed the rule against perpetuities. Therefore, while this kind of perpetual cryonics trust would have been impossible to create a few years ago, now it is within the realm of possibility."

Oh, cryogenics, I thought hell finally froze.

To have that extreme level of greed to "protect" money in that way. I might imagine the fires of hell are not altered by being placed in a cryogenic state.
