Bitcoin could be updated preemptively to expire UTXOs that are e.g. more than 100 years old. If you have generational wealth in UTXOs nearing that age, you'd have to move them before they expire.

It can be a pesky requirement indeed, having to pay a tx fee every goddamn century to retain your slice of infinity. Because if you miss it, you'll have to lift a finger again.
