There's not really a function like 'approving the claim' if you're the owner making a recovery claim you have no access to the wallet/address to respond and approval is based on time. The only active thing as an account owner is responding to (denying) claims against the account.
1. someone makes a claim on my account, which costs them money.
2. i am notified of this.
3. I approve or deny the claim.
4. If denied, I get to keep the money submitted with the claim.
5. If approved or nothing is done within an amount of time, the account is awarded to the claimant?
