I agree that it might be nice to transfer gradually, but if you avoid the risk of losing any fraction, then you solve the problem of one-shot transfer also. If you don’t solve that problem, then you still risk losing something to treachery. Maybe you could suggest a concrete protocol for a verified-source reincarnation scenario.
I’m also envisioning some non-divisible resources as well, e.g. privileges and obligations with respect to independent entities (we’ll assume these were crafted to transfer on reincarnation).
The process of transferring resources might be done visibly and gradually, like the iterated donation pact in this comment.
