I don't think I was saying anything about an estate. The arrangement would 
be between the suspension organization and the insurance company. Capital 
would be managed by the insurance company to generate income for indefinite 
suspension, reanimation would release the capital that the reanimated 
person/suspension organization could not claim to the insurance company.
