Fall 2021 Post 10

 It’s quite amusing  how an expiration date of one’s life exist. However science is ever growing and does not constitute an accurate depiction of what happens beneath dying. So every expiration date is approximated with scientific knowledge learned across the years. 

The time of death is not confined to criminal investigations; it can also come into play in civil situations. Insurance payments may depend upon whether the insured individual were alive at the time the policy went into effect or if he died before the policy expired. Even a single day can be important. Likewise, property inheritance can hinge on when the deceased actually died. Suppose two business partners die near the same time. Their contract may read that the company assets go the survivor if one of them dies. In this case, the heirs of the one that died last would own the company assets. Similarly, the dispersal of property under a will might be affected by which partner died first.
