There’s a Book called The Denial of Death that was recently recommended to me. It’s on my list of books to read.

does someone still have claims to something they produced after death through wills, trusts and estates? I’m not suggesting that the government or someone else should get it.

I’m discussing the nature of ownership, not proposing a policy.
A will doesn’t prove ownership is imaginary. It proves ownership includes the right to dispose of your property. If I can give you my truck today while alive, why would death magically erase my authority to direct where it goes tomorrow?

You’re acting like there’s ethnographic studies identifying customs for passing along inheritances.

Again, there's good reasons to avoid that too... they are nature's garbage disposals. I can list reasons, but really, being garbage disposals covers it.
This was much more of a concern when the OT was written than today.

Circumcision in the Bible isn't what has been performed on American infants in the hospital nursery for decades. But, to be fair, in high risk societies, circumcision is supposedly beneficial.
There is science that backs up a great lot of these archaic rules.
Nobody is doubting that risk can exist with them, but their prohibition is due to the ignorance of why they're risky. The fact the behavior was necessary 4000-5000 years ago and isn't now still implies it was a benefit to society in the past.
The point is that we can control most, if not all, of those risks, because society has developed. This means they're no longer needed as a social more...the easiest kind of rejection of societal conservatism.

One of the fundamental rights of property ownership is the right to dispose of said property. A succession is nothing more than property owner exercising their right of disposal. It’s not any fundamentally different than someone selling their home.
One of the major issues with your argument is your altered definition of ownership.

That isn’t the definition of ownership.

Sure is funny that you followed posting yourself under a different name. Must be a slow night at the Cuck household.

Why would ownership survive death?

They cause observable harm. I realize this could get circular — why is causing harm wrong?

Yes

As opposed to unremarkable message board posts that aren’t even funny or interesting?
Guilty.

That last post by cubbies should dissolve any silly notion that she's my alter. I'd never say you weren't funny.

It might if I was aware of the official explanation for the original incident that started that theory.
How is it that you came to answer a post to her about being fat from her perspective...in her "voice," so to speak?

In terms of society? Power begat laws begat religion begat rights ...but agriculture allowed all of this to occur.
More accurate:
Symbolic thought
ritual/spiritual beliefs
agriculture
states
written laws
organized religions
codified rights
Global institutions
Networked societies
AI Augmented governance

But my comment was specific to society, not the individual. I'm not up on the scholarship, but I don't think Neanderthals had societies.
