How to use "Inheritor" in context?
The inheritance of property is the transfer of title to ownership of property, generally upon the death of the original owner. In English law, intestacy laws deal with the disposition of property by individuals who have no descendants who are legally competent to inherit. There are several types of inheritance, which depend on the type of property involved.
In common law jurisdictions, inheritance is generally limited to direct descendants of the original property owner. This is called the principle of primogeniture, which states that a person's inheritance is based on their degree of relationship to the original property owner.
