A reanalysis of the problem of μ- decay in orbit is done in order to estimate backgrounds for (μ-, e-) conversion. Some approximations are done in order to obtain a very simple formula for the decay rate close to the maximum electron energy. Comparison with more sophisticated approaches leads to differences in the results which cannot be easily interpreted in terms of the approximations which has been done so far. In view of the relevance of this reaction in the planning of (μ-, e-) conversion experiments we point out at the convenience of some independent accurate evaluation.
