    It seems like any sufficiently rich person, like a monarch, could essentially have someone on staff - maybe multiple people - whose entire job is to periodically cast True Resurrection, naming the rich individual. If they aren’t dead, the spell fails; if they are, they come back to life, and can name their assassin.

      Assuming D&D 5e rules, this is easily countered by casting Gentle Repose on the corpse every 10 days, or any other method of preventing natural decay.

      True Resurrection can only create a new body if the original no longer exists.
