But a few persist in believing, even after the final cast and credit roll, that this clever fiction is for real--a documentary that ends in death. "You mean it's not?" asks stunned Chicagoan Paula Taylor. "The website made it sound as if it was. I can't believe...

Naming another beneficiary will not extend the life of the account, and payments must be distributed at least as rapidly as the pace set by the original owner, regardless of who receives the cash...
