Immortality And The Law - The Rising Power Of The American Dead, Ray Madoff
Immortality And The Law - The Rising Power Of The American Dead, Ray Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
While American law provides virtually no protections for the interests we hold most dear – our bodies and our reputations – when it comes to property interests, the American dead have greater control than anywhere else in the world. From grave robbery to Elvis impersonators, the law of the dead has a direct impact on how we live. The rising power of the American dead enables the deceased to exert control over their wealth forever through grandiose schemes like dynasty trusts and perpetual private charitable foundations and to control their creative works and identities well into the unforeseeable future.
