In order to not set a precedent of charging money for search and rescue services, they should just charge a special one-time 80% inheritance tax on his estate.

That instead sets the precedent of "we don't need an actual law to seize your money, we can just decide we don't like you on a case-by-case basis" which I would argue is much worse.

Make it a Darwin Award inheritance tax; only applicable if you died through massive personal negligence
