A gesture to when the government finds out a particular individual has died and, as a result of them finding out, that individual’s rights change. This change consists in them permanently losing some of their legal rights and protections; as well as having many of their other rights and protections significantly weakened.
Kade: Where were you last Friday? You never showed to attend the meeting we had scheduled to talk about our group project.
Hannah: Sorry about that. My mom died of cardiac arrest and I had to deal with all of the government paperwork related to her owing taxes, make her burial arrangements, get a legal pronouncement of death to begin the work necessary to acquire death certificates for her, tell all of my relatives about her passing, and arrange for her pet cat to find a new home.
Kade: I’m sorry for your loss. How are you holding up with all of this?
Hannah: I am doing alright. I’ve already taken care of most of the important tasks that I have to take care of. My only major concern is the rights shift. Considering she died, most her legal rights and protections have either been greatly weakened or eliminated; and as her only living child, the responsibility of monitoring the government to ensure they appropriately enforce those rights and protections in the event that certain crimes, like grave robbery, occur falls to me. This is especially concerning given that I heard that a series of grave robberies that appear to be related to each occurred in some of the towns that are nearby the town she is buried, which they have not been able to find and identify the perpetrator yet.
Kade: I can definitely see why you are concerned given the situation and everything going on.
