I am from Canada where there are no taxes on estates except for a 3%
probate fee for those who die intestate.

If someone is cryopreserved in a state where regeneration is possible
does one have to probate and dissolve  an estate.  If the cryonaut
places all their assets into a pre-designed living-will managed trust
(instructions put into place with various time and event determined
contingencies pre-planned) which is not to be dissoved until a
reanimation is done and the person is finally irreversible dead or else
back to life,  can the government extract estate taxes?

Is there sufficient tax deferral at stake that the government might seek
to disallow
cryogenic storage because it stands to defer today's taxes for perhaps
100 years into the future?
