That’s not the point of TFA! They’re talking about people who get victimized by people who convince the state that they’re dead when they’re not.

- mjburgess 5y agoThat's not the point of the comments section. They're talking abotu a relevant topic, not the article.
- knorker 5y agoI was specifically addressing the problem in the article where people are surprised to come back to their property to find out that "they're dead". I'm saying that because in Sweden you IMMEDIATELY find out that "you're dead", you won't have e.g. the problem where your property was actually transferred to "your widow", as was mentioned in the article, before you even know that a process has started. It's like an alarm. Sure, it won't prevent all burglaries, but (assuming the alarm works, in this analogy, and calls you) you'll find out immediately that someone is in the process of screwing you. So yes, actually. I think a major enabler for this problem is the fact that in India you DON'T know if you got declared dead. Which really helps the ability to create this kind of fraud.
