FFQ: What happens to your assets when you go missing? - 10/05/05 03:20 AM
Let's just say, for example, that you're a reporter and you're sent to a foreign country for a story. You get captured or in a coma or start living in a treehouse with... *ahem*... anyway... Everyone thinks you're dead. They even had a funeral and stuff for you.
Now it's three years later and you make it back home. Yay! There's a big party, and everyone's so happy to have you home... especially a certain guy in tights... but that's beside the point.
What you really want to know is what happened to all your money. All your stuff was donated to charity, obviously, but what about your bank accounts? And your employer should owe you back pay, right? For how long? Do you get hazard pay for that? Some kind of insurance?
You're really glad to be back and all, but it's kinda hard to get your life back together without any money.
So... were they frozen until they could legally declare you dead? Liquidated and disbursed to the state because you have no living relatives? And how do you get them back?
