Well, actually, there
is always a reversionary interest to the state. Look up "escheat" in your Black's. As to your point re: discounting, it's generally very difficult to accurately discount for a contnigent future interest. Where the contingency is highly remote, as it is with respect to the state, that vaulation would be nearly de minimis.
