Estate transfer guidelines
Inheritance rules govern how property, titles, or rights pass from the dead to the living.
Legal systems specify who inherits when someone dies without a will: Under inheritance rules, the estate passed to his eldest daughter.
The term also applies to genetic transmission and, in computing, how software objects receive properties from parent classes.
