Easy solution: File with the IRS, ask since you are dead, you don't owe any future taxes, right?
Trust me. Things will start moving very quickly.
Exceed the speed limit. Reject the fine claiming you are dead.
Trust me. The possibilities are endless and take my word, I would enjoy them.
- retrac 5y agoYou may really be underestimating the blind nature of these systems. There is no single human with the clear authority and ability to alter the rule-making architecture giving these results. They all feel powerless and try to pass it up the chain (all the way to the minister responsible in the national government apparently, who also seems helpless!). As to enjoying being legally dead? I guess you don't have diabetes meds to worry about like the woman in France :)
- pacman2 5y agoYou would be surprised what a judge can do in countries with rule of law.
- tedunangst 5y agoAnd then the police hold you in jail until your identity can be confirmed.
- jandrese 5y agoOr worse, transfer you to the morgue.
- pacman2 5y agoI have several passports. Not a good idea to be honest. My embassies would get involved pretty fast :-)
- pmyteh 5y agoConsular services will generally not protect you against another country whose nationality you hold.
- thedevelopnik 5y agoYou wouldn’t in this case. All her identifying documents were rendered invalid when she was declared dead.
- pacman2 5y agoYou must be a lawyer. Not. A country can not declare the passport from another country invalid. In fact, many passports have written "Property of country XYZ" on them.

- void_mint 5y ago"I am not a lawyer but insist I know more than many lawyers"
- pacman2 5y agoIn fact, I have won in administrative courts 4 times. More than many lawyers. :-)
- naikrovek 5y agothat doesn't mean you know more than them... or know any given law more than any given lawyer. it doesn't mean anything other than you've won administrative court appearances 4 times. what jurisdiction were those in, anyway? is that jurisdiction representative of all other jurisdictions? absolutely not.
- Talanes 5y agoWhich only proves that you have some expertise in a small subset of the law: that which has affected you personally.
- pacman2 5y agoI don't understand all the downvotes by idiots. Yes, I am not a lawyer. Never claimed to be one. I have worked with law in two jurisdictions, incl. US. The fields were: 1. Patent law (I am not a patent lawyer either) 2. Regulatory (speak FDA) While you can screw up, law is not that difficult. It is even easier in countries with codified law.
- void_mint 5y agoCalling those that disagree with you idiots is probably not a good—faith attempt at communicating.
- croes 5y agoSince you are dead, you have no income, so you are right. IRS is not a monster, it's bureaucracy. If the system says you are dead, you are dead. Same with the fine, it won't reach you because you are dead. What's worse you have no rights because dead people have very limited rights.
