CARTER, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the opinion of the court. I write separately to state that, although the so-called probate disbursement from David’s estate to Jazzber’s conservator is not in itself a payment that would reduce the uninsured motorist benefits owed Berta’s estate, it may have been an improper depletion of the as*597sets in David’s estate in the face of a potential wrongful-death claim by Berta.
The assets transferred to Jazzber, if left in David’s estate, would have been available to pay Berta’s wrongful-death claim. That payment, if made, would reduce the uninsured motorist benefits owed to Berta’s estate. These issues have not been presented on this appeal, and based on the record at the time the appeal was taken, were not ripe for decision.
