That depends on where you live. In the United States we have a system of private land ownership. You can sell your land and keep the money or leave it to your beneficiaries by your will. If you die intestate (without a will) the land will pass to your heirs at law under the state laws of intestacy. No one can take the land away from you unless the taking is done under the provisions of the law. Many other countries have private land ownership.

There are countries that do not have systems of private land ownership. China is a good example. There is no system for private land ownership in China. The state took control of all the land during the Communist takeover in 1949. Communist Party officials control land usage rights. However, there is a system of usage rights granted in the land.
