Maybe not!

If Hans' "no expiration date" Class A is adopted by FCC, they *won't*
give away your call sign unless somebody proves to FCC that you're
really, truly, stone cold dead. Probably require a close family member
to send in the papers - and if you've left instructions not to, your
survivors could keep your call out of circulation for a long time.

Aren't GROLs issued "for life"? If so, there's your precedent for a
non-expiring FCC license.....

Never thought about that. What happens to my GROL when I become a SK? How
would they know?

A GROL has no expiration date and the serial number is never
reissued anyhow. Your ghost/incarnation/whatever will retain the
operating privileges. It may do a better job of operating than
several allegedly "live" commercial operators that I have run
across.
