Featuring an inheritance

This prompt is for books featuring an inheritance. The inheritance could play a main role in the story, or it could be a secondary plotline. It may feature a scene in which a lawyer reads out a will, a regency-era character who inherits his father’s title, or the word itself in the book’s title. The possibilities are vast and can include any type of inheritance: monetary or otherwise.

What is an inheritance? An inheritance is something that someone inherits upon the death of an individual. It could be property, titles, debts, cash, investments, etc. It’s any asset that is left to someone else when they die.
