Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, rights and obligations upon the death of an individual. It has long played an important role in human societies. The rules of inheritance differ between societies and have changed over time.
In law, an heir is a person who is entitled to receive a share of the decedent's property, subject to the rules of inheritance in the jurisdiction where the decedent died or owned property at the time of death. In politics members of ruling noble houses may be heirs of a living person, called heirs apparent. In law, however, a person does not become an heir before the death of the decedent, since the exact identity of the persons entitled to inherit is determined only then. There is a further concept of jointly inheriting, pending renunciation by all but one, which is called coparceny.
In modern law, the terms inheritance and heir refer exclusively to the succession of property from a desceased decedent intestate. Future recipients of property through a will are termed beneficiaries, devisees, or legatees.
