You don't seem to understand the terms "guardian" and "own".  They have
nothing to do with each other.  A "guardian" has a fiduciary
responsibility, *NOT* "ownership".

Inheritance happens *after* the estate has been sttled by a *court*.
Often, this will involve a type of "guardian" an ("executor"), but almost
as often it will not.  Until the estate is settled (meaning the court has
decided who gets to "own" each of the estate's component parts"), she/they
"own" *nothing".

Since Yahoo! has an explicit contract with the decedent which stipulates
that the contract is extinguished by the death of the box "owner", this
whole estate business is moot anyway - there is no longer an account to
intervene on.

 Civilization is in a tailspin - everything is backwards, everything is
upside down- doctors destroy health, psychiatrists destroy minds, lawyers
destroy justice, the major media destroy information, governments destroy
freedom and religions destroy spirituality - yet it is claimed to be
healthy, just, informed, free and spiritual. We live in a social system
whose community, wealth, love and life is derived from alienation,
poverty, self-hate and medical murder - yet we tell ourselves that it is
biologically and ecologically sustainable.

The Bush plan to screen whole US population for mental illness clearly
indicates that mental illness starts at the top.
