Yes, if only for the legal status of property/inheritance: if you are to be revided, who owns your wealth? Do you children inherit? And/when you are revived, what resources do you have? Is your family/descendants in charge of you, or you of them?

Cryogenic preservation is treated like mummification, you’re just declared dead. At which point your assets are likely to just get spent.

If you want to be safe, set up a trust that pays to you preferably and if not then to any descendants you have. That’s unlikely to work if you’re somehow revived in several hundred years, but it’s better than hopping random people will hand you money voluntarily.

You can't have a trust with no trustee. Is your trustee really afraid of getting sued by a corpse with no heirs?
