Line 275:
*** It's very rare for heroes who stay dead as long as Barry Allen did to come back at all. Most of the time they're only "dead" for like a year at most (taking into account [[Comic Book Time]]). And even in Barry's case, I'm sure they could think of something. They could say he moved away for a while and fell out of touch with his old acquaintances. People do that all the time.
** How do they handle bank accounts? Especially when the hero doesn't have a secret identity.
*** Joint accounts with their significant other, if they have one. This troper's elderly parents gave joint access to their bank accounts precisely to allow access to the family funds in the event of, without having to wait for the estate to be probated. In the case of 'not-dead' superheroes, this would actually work in reverse.
*** Lots of fraud and lawsuits, I suppose. Not the most upstanding thing for heroes to do, but there's no way around it.
**** If they use anonymous numbered accounts it doesn't matter if they're temporarily dead or not, just so long as they're not dead long enough that the account is closed for lack of activity.
