Inheritance Law refers to the body of law that governs the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. This area of law establishes the rules and procedures regarding how property, assets, and debts are handled after an individual’s passing, determining who inherits and in what proportions. Inheritance law varies widely between jurisdictions and can include statutory laws, common laws, and regulations concerning wills, trusts, estate taxes, and probate processes. The law ensures that the wishes of the deceased, as expressed in a will, are honored while also upholding the rights of heirs and beneficiaries as stipulated by legal statutes in the absence of a will. Inheritance law plays a crucial role in facilitating the legal transfer of wealth and property across generations.
