Inheritance Law refers to the legal framework that governs how a person's assets and property are distributed after their death. This law ensures that the deceased's wishes, often outlined in a will, are respected, while also providing guidelines for situations where no will exists, typically following intestate succession rules. In many jurisdictions, Inheritance Law also addresses issues such as the rights of heirs, the responsibilities of executors, and the handling of debts. It aims to provide a fair and orderly process for transferring ownership of assets, ensuring that beneficiaries receive their rightful shares according to the law or the deceased's wishes.
