<prompt> Human: So lets say something happens to me that isnt life threatening I wont be considered deceased and my account is inactive for 50 years. I have a huge chunk of my investments in index funds that are set to reinvest themselves.Would my accounts still stay as-is or is there some obscure clause saying I have to do something with it regularly? Lets say I tell people not to report me to be missing and nobody thinks Im dead.  <response>: You can plan for this by moving your assets into certain types of trust. You need an attorney to set this up, and an investment firm to administer the trust file taxes, reinvest dividends, etc.
