Here is another scenario:

You support your disabled son/daughter and have set up a trust to make sure their house is maintained in perpetuity. You get resurrected and end up in long term care. Not dead, so the part of the trust that kicks in is the lawyer selling/using assets to pay your bills that flow in after you or your medical POA fuck up the Medicare situation accidentally. You live for years and your son/daughter get booted out of the house you paid off and had meant for them.

One little slip up and ALL your money is gone while you drool helplessly in hell.

True story, happening right now.
